The Museum of Modern Art and MoMA PS1 presents work by Bruce Nauman (b. 1941).  Traversing the artist’s full career and comprising a range of media, the shows investigates timely ideas of truth and fiction; omission and loss.

Neon installations, videos and sculptures combine with painting, drawing and performance to draw a rich portrait of Nauman’s oeuvre.  Revealing how time, space, movement and language can be used to reflect universal experience, the exhibition demonstrates a signature style with striking  immediacy.

Bruce Nauman: Disappearing Acts opens 21 October. Find out more here.
