Language has always played a central role in Bruce Nauman's work, providing him with a means of examining how human beings exist in the world, how they communicate or fail to communicate. For Raw Materials, he has selected 22 spoken texts taken from existing works to create an aural collage in the Turbine Hall. Removed from their original context, the individual texts and voices become almost abstract elements, taking on new meanings as they are rearranged as part of a single work. Raw Materials also draws on Nauman's fascination with space, and the ways it can alter our behaviour and self-awareness. (cfr. UbuWeb Emma Dexter, Curator, Tate Modern)
