This week, we focused on performance and duration as embodied time, using our own bodies to create the art. Our current project (due by Tuesday morning) is a self-actualized performance.
In section we looked at an endurance performance artist named Cassils, whose work is centralized around the body and gender. As a non-binary artist, Cassils is focused on shaping, distorting, and performing the body to extremes (also mentioned in last week's section):
Becoming An Image, Cassils
