Dia: Beacon


The Artist that i found most intriguing would have to be Bruce Nauman who was being exhibited in Dia:Beacon's lower level. The entire level had a certain dark and creepy feel to it as soon as you stepped out of the elevator. I found that I was pretty nervous to be down in the basement, which i think added to to why I liked Nauman's work. The site it was in helped the work in my opinion. The piece that I liked the most at this exhibition was a digital piece that was set up with in a room on 8 different large projectors which showed different rooms being filmed on night vision. It seemed that you would stare at one screen long enough and in the corner of your eye, something would pass by another screen and catch your attention. It had a sort of haunted house feeling. It was almost like the documentation or an exploration into a haunting. As strange as it seems, this is really cool to me because i love being scared as well as the idea of a paranormal world.
