Bruce Nauman has made a number of sculptures whose physical form consists of a room. The effect of the work on the spectator is created through activating a sense other than, or in addition to, the visual. The Floating Room: Lit from Inside, for example, is raised off the floor and lit from the inside by flourescent tubes. The room floats with light spilling from its bottom edge; it disrupts the sense of its stability and creates from the solid object an immaterial space. It has a counterpart in which the room is darkened within a brightly-lit room. In Yellow Room (Triangular), 1973, both the color and the shape of the space are disconcerting, and deliberately difficult to stay within--"I can't stay very long myself" Nauman wrote. The physical space creates uncomfortable sensations.
In 1970 Jost Herbig invited Bruce Nauman to participate in Bilder Objekte Filme Konzepte, an exhibition of his collection, at the Lenbachhaus in Munich. Nauman's response to his invitation was to send two projects to be realised in the exhibition, Microphone Tree Piece, a work to be installed inside and outside the museum (now in the Grinstein Family Collection, Los Angeles) and a room project.
Two drawings of the rooms exist in the Herbig Collection, Sealed Room--no access (lot 25) and Drawing for circulating corridor (fig. 1). They have common elements--they are similarly sized and use four industrial fans, one installed in each corner of the room. One drawing, (fig. 1) shows a smaller room within the larger space and with the fans installed in the corridor between them. This was purchased by Count Panza di Buomo and is now in the Panza Collection of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum where it is called Four Fans Room (Enclosed). Jost Herbig puchased the right to construct the present work from Nauman's dealer Konrad Fischer in addition to the drawings and Dorothée Fischer has recently confirmed this. It is not clear which room was built for the Munich exhibition. Correspondence between Herbig and Nauman concerns the size of the room and an invoice for the purchase of four industrial fans from Italy for the project. The room with corridors has been constructed by the Guggenheim Museum and is illustrated in fig. 2.
The existence of two room projects has been confirmed by the artist. The artist has also confirmed that the catalogue raisonné will be modified to reflect the existence of two projects. (They are currently conflated in the description of 177, p. 244)
In this work, the sound of the fans which are invisible to the viewer, constitutes the alteration of the spectator's perceptions. The viewer is conscious of the noise emanating from the room and its rise and fall as the work is circumnavigated. The work's physical presence, the simple room, is disturbed by the sound that comes from the work.
