What to expect
Tai Kwun Contemporary is proud to present a major survey exhibition by the US-born artist Bruce Nauman, one of the most influential artists working today. Curated in collaboration with the Bruce Nauman Studio, and based primarily on works from the Pinault Collection and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, as well as loans from Tate, The Museum of Modern Art (New York), Dia Art Foundation, and The Sonnabend Collection Foundation, Tai Kwun Contemporary’s exhibition takes the form of a survey covering aspects of the artist’s entire career, and is the first show of this kind to be presented in Asia.
With elements drawn from Bruce Nauman: Contrapposto Studies, first shown at Punta Della Dogana, Venice, in 2021, the Tai Kwun Contemporary exhibition revisits fundamental elements ever-present in the artist’s portfolio, from the artist’s early neons to the recent Contrapposto series, along with drawings, large-scale sculptural and sound installations spanning more than six decades of the artist’s practice. Curated by Carlos Basualdo, Marion Boulton “Kippy” Stroud Deputy Director and Chief Curator at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Caroline Bourgeois, Chief Curator at the Pinault Collection, and Pi Li, Head of Art at Tai Kwun, the exhibition will be on view from 15 May to 18 August 2024.
From the 1960s to the present day, Bruce Nauman (b. Fort Wayne, Indiana, in 1941) has constantly been experimenting with various artistic languages — from photography to performance, sculpture to video — probing their potentialities and producing a body of work that questions the very definition of what constitutes artistic practice. This upcoming exhibition at Tai Kwun Contemporary highlights the experimental character of the artist’s work by including a wide diversity of media, developed over six decades. A major new Chinese and English language publication featuring interviews “on/with” Bruce Nauman, edited by Joan Simon and Tai Kwun Contemporary, accompanies the exhibition.
Part of Tai Kwun Contemporary’s series of major summer exhibitions spotlighting pioneering artists of our time.

Reviews
There is nothing special to share. If you are interested, take advantage of today’s last opportunity to go and have a look, and then come back to gain some useful points.
It is very convenient to buy and enjoy the electronic tickets now. Nauman makes extraordinary and thought-provoking works from simple everyday objects and activities, which is quite interesting. The exhibition period ends on August 18th, so be sure to seize the time!!
The exhibition allows people to experience the violence of language and the absurdity of reality. The exquisite curatorial layout makes people unexpectedly enter the world of absurdity!
Bruce Nauman is one of the most influential contemporary artists, and this is his first exhibition in Hong Kong.
the pricing is a little bit expensive and the content is very nice with the 3D features. also the indoor fountain is very colorful
There are not many exhibits, and many of the expressions are repetitive. The videos are too long, some are almost an hour long, and it tests your patience.
Book a flight with Klook in the morning in advance and you can enter the venue immediately, which is convenient and fast
The exhibition content may be smaller than other museums, but there are many works worth pondering. Personally, I like the library on the second floor the best.
Being able to see the works of artists among artists is eye-opening. There are videos, sculptures, and neon works. The exhibition location is so spacious. The Tai Pavilion is very well arranged. It is worth a visit.
I feel that there are not many categories and quantities of works on display, and the regional distribution is a bit strange. If you haven’t seen Nauman’s works in person, it’s okay to go~
