Coming across the Bruce Nauman-esque pieces prompted me to look him up. It's nice to know that "since 1979, Nauman has lived on a ranch near Galisteo, New Mexico, where, in addition to continuing his studio practice, he breeds horses." (this from a short bio here at the Dia Beacon website- a few years ago I went there and was amazed by its building and collection, which included a lot of Nauman's work.)

This one below, One Hundred Live and Die, from 1984, can be found at the Naoshima Contemporary Art Museum in Kagawa, Japan.



Also, I started reading Eccentric Spaces, by Robert Harbison, today- more on that later. I like it so far.
