I visited Schirn Kunsthalle in Frankfurt yesterday to see an exhibition of Giacometti and Nauman. Both did not meet each other at lifetime, but the curators think that they have lot’s in common, especially the “nothing”, the void.

Well, some impressions here – sorry that I did not take a picture of the “bouncing balls”, which is where Nauman films his… well, his balls, while flipping them upwards with his fingers. The film is a 9 minute close-up, and I think it is slow motion as each bounce seems to take ages. If you want to see this, come to Frankfurt or just call Bruce in New Mexico. As he is still alive, he might perform for you – even though he might not do it for 9 minutes nowadays…

Enjoy.

Bodyless hand on arm (and it’s shadow).

Nauman’s 17.8 cm wide corridor with mirror and lights. No space, though.
