Days
Bruce Nauman: Days
June 2–August 23, 2010
A recent addition to the Museum’s collection, Bruce Nauman’s Days (2009) was created for, and debuted at, the 2009 Venice Biennale, where the artist represented the United States with the solo exhibition Bruce Nauman: Topological Gardens. Days is a “sound sculpture” consisting of a continuous stream of seven voices reciting the days of the week in random order. Fourteen suspended speakers are installed in two rows with one voice emanating from each pair of speakers as the visitor passes between them. There are men’s voices and women’s voices, old and young. Some speak swiftly, others with pause, each with his or her own cadence. The collection of distinctive voices produces a chorus—at times cacophonous, at others, resonant—and creates a sonic cocoon that envelops the visitor. The work invokes both the banality and the profundity of the passing of each day, and invites reflection on how we measure, differentiate, and commemorate time (MoMa exhibition page).

Ben Gocker at P.P.O.W.
Through July 16, 2010
Gocker's first solo exhibition, "There is really no single poem", features a variety of installations pieces, sculptures, drawings, and painterly compositions that work simultaneously together to create one single work. Much of his work plays with fantasy, child's play, and unrealized genius displayed in a linear, almost systematic fashion.

Through July 2, 2010
Rachel Uffner Gallery
47 Orchard Street
New York, NY
Katz, in her first New York solo show, challenges
visual formalities by melding seemingly
contradictory themes together into contorted
compositions. She places more emphasis on process
than narrative, avoiding obvious continuity and
linear storytelling in favor of poetic
juxtapositions.
