BALANCE : TATE MODERN 2021

Rowdy SS BALANCE 2021

Resilient Response Bruce Naumann

performance to camera with guest appearance by Rebecca Bellantoni

Rowdy SS occupies the Tate Modern Tanks and responds through installation, movement, sound and video works. Their rich multi-sensory responses encourage us to consider what it means to be human and resilient.

the artist explores the conversation between their work Balance (2018-present) and Nauman’s Walking in an Exaggerated Manner around the Perimeter of a Square, 1967-68, and explores ideas around identity, psychological states, behavioral codes, isolation, alienation, and human resilience amidst a pandemic. These themes thread through much of Bruce Nauman’s work yet take on deeper resonance and relevance at this moment in time.

This event is part of the Terra Foundation for American Art Series: New Perspectives.
