Different kinds of moments.

I’ve realized that there are a few different kinds of experiences that I have been having while witnessing art here. The profound emotional experience that we have all been having, and also a experience of a more historical sense. This is how I felt about seeing the Bruce Nauman exhibit at Dia. I don’t really like Nauman’s work but was super stoked just to see it because of the historical context it holds with me. Similar to Nam Jun Paik who I held to real emotional connection to, it is an experience just to be in the presence of work that I have heard sooooooo much about and has been labeled a major moment in art history. I feel like this moment is amplified by the interactive nature of Naumen’s work. “Performance Corridor” allowed me to play with history, which is an experience in itself.
