Bruce Nauman - Walking in an Exaggerated Manner...

[ekeimsleid]

i think it's brilliant

[artregeous]

at the heights of his moral nihilizm he must be thankful for his wifes cornel connections greatfully he is a byproduct of wallstreet

[Jewpinator]

Remember you students that saw this in class, you technically /paid/ to see this.

[uckfyocouch]

what do you feel in your joints when you walk? ever pondered that?

[jamisondavid100]

Somebody should report this guy to the MInistry of Silly Walks.

[jasonyore]

hennessy was right, he does look like a peacock on mdma.

[Misszhuiyisishui]

perche camina in questo modo?

[nbproductions]

The most influential artist of the last 30 years.

[madawanow]

The time spent on something does not equal the quality. Just because someone spent years on something does not automatically make it good. The opposite is also true, someone may work on a piece for only a handful of moments and yet it may still be wonderful and important. It is perfectly alright not to like this video... That said, do not dismiss it because it looks as if it were thought up quickly.

[AMPFEAST]

he could at least have choosen a nice setting...

[nel0405]

my favourite bit is where he walks

[DougBDIT]

i understand it, but still hate it

[JeanEmar3]

I suppose that it is what it is...isn´t it ?

[Jashfish]

Looks like he has worms =D

[weyrauch]

Though I'm, admittedly, not the greatest connoisseur of art, I'm pretty impressed of Bruce Nauman and his work. I first "met" him at The Menil in Houston in late 2007 and was really amazed how such seemingly stupid and simple things like "D-E-A-D", "GetOutOfThisRoom", "Bouncing in the corner" or his sculptures, considered as one unit, evoke an understanding when "digested"...really impressive.

"I'll make a film of myself walking about the perimeter of a square, and call it art. Let those 'in the know' struggle to find meaning in it. I'll have a great laugh at what they come up with!"

[sonicfan287]

@japan314 lol agreed. if i ever did a video like this, itd be mocked by everyone

[bigredfactory]

cool can you upload that? I'd love to 'find meaning' in your work.. finding meaning isnt a 'struggle' either, it is interesting and thought provoking. You'd understand if you appreciated this kind of work. Maybe you're more into image-based work.

Either way I'm sure other people too would like to see a new walking in an exaggerated manner around the perameters of a square.

[firegirl99]

i get it.......

[TheIncredibleBAGMAN]

Not too sure what this is about, but its making me think a lot.

[dragonslayer91]

we're looking at this piece in my art culture class right now. im starting to draw the line between whats GOOD art and whats something you can think of and make in your garage in 2 minutes that would require an enormous amount of imagination and speculation to derive any sort of significance from it, (eg, this video). thanks for putting this up, though :D

[emvergeoning]

a lot of people don't really get it, and that's understandable. it helps to look at it in the context of the rest of his work, see how he uses his body in different pieces. i honestly didn't get bruce nauman until i saw an excellent retrospective at the menil in houston -- then it clicked

[something0something]

That was one of the most memorable exhibits I've seen in my life.

[richardsellears]

@dragonslayer91

Art that you throw together in 2 minutes is most likely going to be better than something you slave over. Slaving over a piece of work might suggest that you are playing the most mundane card in the book. Technicality.

[sonofdistress]

@dragonslayer91 you should think about this/his work in the context of the time he made it. he's questioning so many things in this- film as a medium, position of the body in the room, perspective. he's not telling anything, which wasnt in film these days. all informations are given from the beginning (title, etc). so smallest things become important, like mistakes he's making, movements and so on. in one work he does what others cant do in their whole career.

[mindwentblank]

I had to share this with my friends...

[zmizzy]

I really don`t understand it...

[Mcrankfan]

I see this work as Nauman representing the artists intent to challenge ways we visually percieve space. Is this the intent of the peice, or am I reading too much into it?

[Nmbrz]

I think its just what the title says.... 'exaggeration' is used almost as a form of satire to give a kind of hyper-realistic insight on something.... even something as mundane as how people walk

[Nmbrz]

it's really interesting actually... its like he's challenging nature itself, making fun of the human anatomy

[grumpyvampire]

yeah i think its about space and time as well. also something to do with bridging the gap between high art and low art.- questioning what art is- proving that art is anything that an artist wants it to be.

[pues13]

for those haters that dont know. Bruce Nauman is epic.

[dani3l4]

so gay!

[kingreich22]

So offensive of you!

[teamcrumb]

poo pants! he poohed his pant

[ronniekray1984]

this is art ??!! it discusts me thatpeople make a living of such shit when children are starving

[bluepaperplane]

and i'm sure you're in the peace corps, because otherwise, there's no explanation for such self-righteous ignorance.

[ronniekray1984]

nothing ignorant about what ive got to say if yuo take pleasure from watching this you need a social life

[rindich]

so what do YOU do for a living while children are starving?

[theHungryWizard]

this is tedious. but that''s what bruce's work is all about

[berlin45ers]

gay bastard

[herzhaven]

Wonderful, but I'm looking for your slantstep.

[lemmycaution12]

Ministry of Silly Walks

[robertrobin10]

@lemmycaution12 you're right ,python did this years before.

[crimplemania]

when you can't do something, do nothing, but tell people you did something. this man is a cunt

[gallanaa]

Clearly you have never studied Conceptual art or took the time to understand the motivation behind this work. Unfortunately you just made yourself look naive and uneducated. Word of advice, don't open your mouth if you know shit all. It's easy to hide behind your screen and judge, but I can assure you that you have contributed nothing worthwhile to art--Nauman's works are clearly too complex a thought for you to grasp.

[aomoustafa88]

I agree with you. completely. which is why i'd like to ask your pov on this piece in particular. im pretty lost here. :(

[Auronjecht]

;D yeah you're right!

[manwithnoname123]

"Okay, Bruce, enough of that - on to the breathalizer!"

[dsantanilla]

fabuloso
