Experimenting with sound, film, video, photography, neon, language, performance and other media, American artist Bruce Nauman continually tests what an artwork can be.
In this edition of SAM UNWRAPS, a programme of the Singapore Art Museum, poet and editor Yeow Kai Chai, and graphic designers Sarah and Schooling take on his 1974 performance piece Body Pressure by teasing out the relationship between textual and visual narratives. Riffing on notions of deconstruction and reconstruction, Yeow wrote Under Pressure, an anagrammatic response to Nauman’s original script, using all 752 letters contained within it. In turn, Sarah and Schooling art-directs video outcomes of both Nauman’s and Kai Chai's texts using kinetic typography.
