About this deal

Creating a series of artworks actually builds freedom into your creative process. Yes, you heard me. FREEDOM. Let’s say you have one idea or style you play around with in your art. By the end you have 8 paintings. You now feel bored by the idea of continuing so you stop and start something new, which investigates textiles and painting. Many body art works were highly confrontational pieces performed in front of an audience. These performances asked audience members not only to question their role as spectators but also to willingly get uncomfortable. They also, secondarily, evoked thoughts within viewers around voyeurism versus action and personal accountability versus following the rules. When artworks included highly sexual aspects or involved the infliction of pain, the audience was led to consider their own agency in the performance. Each series can have it’s own unique style, message, voice. You are not limited by one idea and your voice and style will even display connections between series, but let the art historian sort that out for you, because you have a new idea to explore!! Build Credibility Body of Art is a fascinating study of the myriad ways in which artists have represented the human body, making often surprising and always illuminating connections between centuries, imaginations and media.' – Jennifer Higgie, Writer and co-editor of frieze It was after I made this commitment to my art and fully investigated my idea that I made a new connection: that I should put myself into the paintings. This would be how viewers understand some of what I am feeling.

Find sources: "Body art"– news · newspapers · books · scholar · JSTOR ( March 2013) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) In our artist support and exhibition curation, we always ensured that artists felt that they could be experimental, that they could take risks, and that they could be supported in creating honest, passionate, and personal works. After an early exhibition, we experienced artists thanking us for giving them this freedom- it was then that we realised how profound the problems of the art world are.

Modern Art Oxford is an arts charity founded in 1965. It is a space for everyone to enjoy and experience contemporary art, for free. Every exhibition and event at Modern Art Oxford is supported financially by friends of the gallery and members of the public who help to safeguard our future by making regular donations. Without the support of these generous and committed individuals, we would be unable to produce these inspirational exhibitions, events and activities.

As Guggenheim Senior Curator Jennifer Blessing writes in the introduction to this fascinating new book: Its chapters and juxtapositions pose questions about why men - and more recently women - have created images of the body. "Why has this subject endured over centuries, and, especially, how has it been radically re-visioned in contemporary art?”

Its rigidity does not simply affect access, but it continues to dictate from within the work of artists. The traditional market almost forces artists to keep making the same works that are instantly sellable and recognisable, so it doesn’t actually allow any room for innovation. That’s what we want to be here for.”

A sumptuous and continually surprising survey... The editors have grouped their pictures in thought-provoking ways... Short interpretive texts make the correspondences more resonant."– RA Magazine Our new book is the first to celebrate the ways artists have represented and utilised the body over the centuries

Whether regarded as a temple and honored as a sacred vessel or treated as an object to test, wield, or destruct, the body was placed on a pedestal and became a literal (rather than just appropriated, imagined, or created by the artist's hand) collaborator in the art making process. This focus so narrowly directed toward the body, ultimately forced viewers to hone a spotlight on their own physicality and its role in their fleeting existence.If life is the greatest form of art, then it seems only natural for artists to use the physical body as a medium. This is exactly what many Performance artists did to express their distinctive views and make their voices heard in the newly liberated social, political, and sexual climate that emerged in the 1960s. It was a freeing time where artists felt empowered to make art ever more personal by dropping traditional mores of art making and opted to using themselves as living sculpture or canvas. This resulted in direct confrontation between artist and audience, producing a startlingly intimate new way to experience art. Today I want to talk to you about the benefits of creating a body of art. Why create work for a portfolio or in a series? What use is there in doing this for us creators? Body of Art Versus a Series Notably, Klein's work and his objectifying use of women's bodies is at odds with much of the feminist body art which came after it. Many later female artists would have objected to this use of women's bodies as mere tools, rather than as active participants. Yet many of the women who participated in Anthropometries at the time, said they felt as if they were co-creators of the work and described the process as being fun. With a description reading "I am the object," and, "During this period I take full responsibility," Abramović invited spectators to use any of 72 items provided in the gallery on her body in any way they desired, completely giving up control. She made her own body the subject of her artwork, but did not control the way in which the narrative unfolded. Instead, she passively offered up her body to her audience, exploring how they would respond to this act, which carried undertones of the archetypal self-sacrificing woman. Jake Lloyd Jones, a Sydney-based artist, conceived the Sydney Body Art Ride, which has become an annual event. Participants are painted to form a living rainbow that rides to the Pacific Ocean and immerses itself in the waves. [9] Medical uses for body art [ edit ]
