James Franco Puts on Bruce Nauman's Make Up

Actor-turned-artist James Franco is back to being artsy again, but this time it isn’t for an oddball interview, a soap opera, or an exhibition at the Clocktower Gallery. Instead, he’s channeling his inner Bruce Nauman by appearing in artist/filmmaker Alison Chernick‘s James Franco as Bruce Nauman, wherein the actor recreates Nauman’s 1967 piece, “Art Make-Up.” Per usual with all things “L’Art de James,” we’ll let you make our minds up for us on what it all means and if it’s art or not, or whatever (frankly, after the past six months, our brains are a little tired of thinking about Franco’s work).
