  6. Process Art Movement • Nauman’s practice led to him becoming a part of the Process Art Movement. • Process art is an artistic movement as well as a creative sentiment where the end product of art and craft, is not the principal focus. • The 'process' in process art refers to the process of the formation of art: the gathering, sorting, collating, associating, patterning, and moreover the initiation of actions and proceeding. • Process art is concerned with the actual doing and how actions can be defined as an actual work of art; seeing the art as pure human expression. • Process art often entails an inherent motivation, rationale, and intentionality. Therefore, art is viewed as a creative journey or process, rather than as a deliverable or end product.
