Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"It had been Nauman’s genius to have reversed Minimalism’s conception of sculpture, from a phenomenological idealism to a post-utopian subjectivity in which the conditions of surveillance, control and exertion are recognized as central in defining experience in the present. And Janet Kraynak’s brilliant study is the first to have given Nauman’s aesthetic ambitions an adequately theorized interpretive apparatus." —Benjamin H.D. Buchloh, Harvard University
"
Nauman Reiterated is cogent and original, based on extensive and unique primary research, and theorized in a distinct, coherent, and compelling way. Janet Kraynak, a recognized expert on Nauman’s work, deftly navigates the discourses of academic scholarship and the gallery/art-world, using a nuanced and detailed set of sources." —Liz Kotz, author of
