Bruce Nauman

• * 1941 in Fort Wayne, Indiana (US), lives in New Mexico (US)

In his sound installation, Bruce Nauman incessantly speaks the words “für Kinder, für Kinder, für Kinder”. This work is the first German-language sound installation by the U.S.-American conceptual artist. Nauman came across the words “für Kinder” in a press release for Béla Bartók’s piano pieces for beginners, based on Hungarian folk songs, titled Für Kinder (1908).
