En 1966 Nauman estableció su estudio en una tienda de ultramarinos en desuso de San Francisco, la cual recorrió impacientemente reflexionando acerca de la cuestión fundamental de lo que hace un artista cuando se queda solo en su estudio. ¨Llegué a la conclusión de que, como era un artista y estaba en mi estudio, todo lo que hiciera allí tenía que ser arte (....) Llegados a aquel punto, el arte se convirtió para mí más en una actividad que en un producto¨.

I guess we talked about these before, about being ameteur an being able to do anything. I f you really believe in what you are doing and do it as well as you can, then there be some amount of tension -if you are honestly getting tired, or if you honestly trying to balance on one foot for along time , there has to be some sympathetic response in someone who is watching you. It is a kind of body response, they feel that foot and that tension. But many things that you could do would be really boring, so that it depends a lot on what you choose, how you set up the problem in the first place. Somehow you have to program it to be interesting.
