Please Pay Attention Please: Bruce Nauman's Words Writings and Interviews
Published by The MIT Press, Cambridge, 2005, 426 pp. hardcover (b/w ill.), 18.2 × 23.7 cm, English
Price: €25

The most comprehensive collection to date of the artist Bruce Nauman’s writings plus all of his major interviews from 1965 to 2001. Since the 1960s, the artist Bruce Nauman has developed a highly complex and pluralistic oeuvre ranging from discrete sculpture, performance, film, video, and text-based works to elaborate multipart installations incorporating sound, video recording and monitors, and architectural structures. Nauman’s work is often interpreted in terms of movements and mediums, including performance, postminimalism, process, and conceptual art, thereby emphasizing its apparent eclecticism. But what is often overlooked is that underlying these seemingly disparate artistic tendencies are conceptual continuities, one of which is an investigation of the nature of language.

Willem Oorebeek
Published by MER. Paper Kunsthalle, Ghent, 2005, 64 pp. (b/w ill.), 20.5 × 27.5 cm, English

Rémy Zaugg said about a work of Cezanne: “The manufacture of the image is the work of the beholder.” William Oorebeek once quoted this in one of his books, and calls his artistic interventions often “picture editing”. This is more than clear in met zonder KOP. The multitude of images and snippets of detail, of shifts, the increase of the image resources and gaps that Oorebeek uses, forces the viewer to “build a picture”, in the way we are daily forced to reconstruct the flow of images into a sensible and meaningful whole.
