Curator Carlos Basualdo (Keith L. and Katherine Sachs Senior Curator of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia Museum of Art) interrogates the many incarnations of the body in the art of Bruce Nauman (American, born 1941). Beginning with Nauman’s influential video work Walk with Contrapposto (1968) and ending with his current corpus of work Contrapposto Studies, I through VII (2015-2016), which is currently the subject of an exhibition at the Palazzo Grassi – Punta Della Dogana, Basualdo sheds light on how Nauman represents images of the body in movement and the effects of bodily senescence, and the role of the viewer in his work.
