Bruce Nauman

Institute of Contemporary Arts : Newsletters : ICA Exhibitions & Events Private View Monday 18 June 2012 6pm - 9pm Bruce Nauman: Days ICA Lower Gallery Join us for the UK premiere of Bruce Nauman’s seminal work Days, a sound installation which presents a continuous stream of seven voices reciting the days of the week in random order. Days invokes both the banality and the profundity of the passing of each day and invites reflection on how we measure, differentiate and commemorate time. Bruce Nauman continues to test rational systems of language, spatial and bodily encounters, duration and psychology through constructed environments. His pioneering work spans over five decades and encompasses a wide spectrum of media. SOUNDWORKS ICA Upper Gallery Online: http://www.ica.org.uk/lt/bU0PBwMAH1MFAQYaAApRB1Q%3D Accompanying the Bruce Nauman private view, there will be a preview in the ICA Upper Gallery of SOUNDWORKS, an online presentation of over one hundred international artists, selected by the ICA and art institutions worldwide. Artists have submitted sound files taking their stimulus from the themes evoked in Days. The project aims to take a broader look at the range of work being produced in audio arts today. The submitted audio works will also be accessible at http://www.ica.org.uk/lt/bU0PBwMAH1MFAQYaAApRB1Q%3D launched 19 June, as well as in the ICA galleries.
