Bruce Nauman is a contemporary artist born in Indiana 6 December 1941, He works with a wide variety of mediums, such as sculpture, photography, video, drawing printmaking and many more. In over 50 years he has undertaken a search for as many different ways of working as he can this results in a broad range of styles and outcomes. His career never adhered to one discipline, he was consistently seeking out any possibility to discover a new realm of art. One of his works explores the value of human perception and acknowledgement, a functioning tape recorder set into a concrete block that supposedly plays a woman’s scream on repeat. it questions whether or not we need to her the scream for it to exist, i also feels it places the viewer in a sense of helplessness with the inability to ever hear what they are told. i like the unease that it provides, it challenges the human urges to see before believing. it requires work form the viewer to have their own input which is something i want to explore more- the idea that a piece partially relies on their perception of it.
