Bruce Nauman

Bruce Nauman
Green Light Corridor, 1970-71


"Nauman has the viewer right where he wants the viewer to be - on an uncomfortable edge between profundity and corniness."
-Jan Butterfield, "The Art of Light and Sapce"

"He didn't put it there and it's in my head; He put it there and nobody knows it but me; He didn't put it there and it's there anyway.
-Peter Plagens, "Bruce Nauman: Mapping the Studio"

"I think in terms of psychological aspects, how we locate ourselves in a room, how we fill a space and are comfortable in it. I am also interested in how we control a space......You do try to make yourself comfortable in a space. You try and know the space in some sense."
- Bruce Nauman
