Raw Material MMM

BRUCE NAUMAN I've really enjoyed the times I've been in London. I haven't seen a lot of art, but some. I always go to the National Gallery. And the weather's been great every time.

ROBERT STORR There's a wonderful passage in Virginia Woolf 's Orlando where she talks about the glorious, bright and sunny Elizabethan age, and how, after that, the clouds descended. Maybe the clouds are finally going away.

Tate Modern: Echoes along the Thames

Tate Modern: Echoes along the Thames

Tate Modern Bridge, London, England SE1 9TG, United Kingdom

My idea is to make available some very successful exhibitions at the Tate Modern along the Thames. This sound walk uses rare recordings of poets and artists, sounds and much more on one of the most intriguing promenade in London. My first walk along the Thames begins at the Tate Modern and is dedicated to Bruce Nauman and his sound installation Raw Materials (2005). Nauman brought together 22 recordings of texts taken from earlier works that span almost 40 years of his career. Walking through the Thames you can now listen again to the disembodied voices that speak to you, or maybe just to themselves, in a variety of styles. Throughout, the tone of voice, the inflection, and variations in rhythms dramatically shift meanings, from diplomatic to psychotic, pleading to bullying, anxiety to mockery.
