Description:

Performance and the Body focuses on the use of the physical body in the production of expressive art since 1960. Issues such as audience, collaboration, feminism, identity, body as site, (etc.) are addressed, as is the ability of this medium to question art institutions and the role of the artist. In addition, the controversial nature of many of these artists will give rise to a discussion of censorship and the arts. This class will be a mixture of lecture and round-table discussion, meant to encourage students to actively engage with topical issues and offer fresh perspectives as artists on a medium unfolding in the contemporary art world.
