Bruce Nauman’s exhibition Topological Gardens, currently on view at the U.S. Pavilion in the Giardini at the 53rd Venice Biennale, has won the Golden Lion for Best National Participation. The Biennale stated that Bruce Nauman’s work “reveals the magic of meaning as it emerges through relentless repetition of language and form.”

Bruce Nauman: Topological Gardens presents a thematic survey comprising four decades of Bruce Nauman’s innovative and provocative work over three exhibition sites: the United States Pavilion at the Giardini della Biennale, Università Iuav di Venezia at Tolentini, and the Exhibition Spaces at Università Ca’ Foscari.

In this video, we have a look at Bruce Nauman’s works at the United States Pavilion at the Giardini.
