I recently saw this exhibit at the Art Institute in Chicago. I was initially repulsed by it but soon after was engaged by it and attempting to analyze both the artists intentions and my own reactions.
This is an awesome exhibit, and I had trouble focusing on any others for the rest of the day at the art institute. And yeah, the security guard told me she was near the breaking point!
it's an uncomfortable environment, thats the idea. the volumes are loud and the clown is a symbol of fear for many, and the clowns are saying negative things like "no" and yelling. tv's are turned side ways to give a feeling of discombobulation and confusion. nauman has many pieces that aggressively challenges the environment and psychology of the viewer.
