Nauman Kruger Jaar

The publication accompanying the exhibition presents five installative works by Bruce Nauman, Barbara Kruger and Alfredo Jaar. With a deep sensibility for justice and injustice, for individual and social ambivalence, the three artists explore the conditions of human existence and make them the subject of their art.

The catalogue essays analyze the simultaneous use of text and image, the use and impact of language, and forms of violence and aggression. It is shown that the complexity of the works on view eludes conventional concepts and categories. The works block the viewer's path and demand committed attention to structural, individual, and political aspects of violence.

The publication, accompanying the exhibition, provides in-depth information on these works from the holdings of the Daros Collection (Nauman, Kruger) and Daros Latin America (Jaar).
