“That not everyone can get in but can (attempt to) watch is important. It’s a moral dilemma that gives weight to the whole” – Bruce Nauman on Kassel Corridor: Elliptical Space (1972), now on view for the first time in New York at MoMA.Whether making viewers decide whether to watch or be watched or vanishing the binaries of moral clarity, as seen in Seven Virtues/Seven Vices, now on view at MoMA PS1, Nauman’s work erases all forms of certainty, requiring us to craft our own meanings rather than adhere to established rules.[Image Credits: Installation view, Kassel Corridor: Elliptical Space (1972) in Bruce Nauman: Disappearing Acts at MoMA, New York (October 21, 2018–February 25, 2019, at MoMA and MoMA PS1). © 2018 Bruce Nauman/Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York.
