Today I Want to Ask Bruce Nauman What His Birthday Is

 80 Years Ago Today

Saturday 6th of December 1941
Artist Bruce Nauman is born in Fort Wayne, Indiana, United States.

He grew up in Wayne, Indiana, USA, in 1942. He moved to Indiana from Scotland during WWII and then to Canada in 1945. Bruce moved into the United States in 1990. On January 27th, 2008, he posted a picture of himself with my mom at my home. His photo was sent to me when I was 20 years old and I was very proud of him. Please share this message if you have anyone to talk to. Bruce Nauman is featured in a new video in the "Art of a Gentleman" series "A Very Special Valentine of '41" by the same artist who also featured Bruce. Today, I want to ask Bruce Nauman what his birthday is. You will tell him all about you. It must be very special to you. Bruce: I'm Bruce Nauman and I do love my brother Bruce. I want to tell you to just let me know what he is and ask him to stop making movies and make a career of it. Your future is at stake. Your parents will be dead soon. So this is just a message to you guys for the future you are trying to leave us. Bruce: First to you Bruce, are your parents a real family. Bruce: My Dad's the only one who ever gave me his name. For you guys to stop making movies is very sad.
