Discuss how Body art and Performance art often intersect. Use specific examples to illustrate your answer. Further, consider instances where the two styles do not overlap.
What will be an ideal response?
Much of the Performance art of the 1970s concerned the relationship between artist and spectator, and therefore included aspects of Body art. An example is Imponderabilia, which the artist Marina Abramovi? performed with her then partner Ulay in a museum in Italy. Anyone wanting to enter the museum had to get by them, squeezing through sideways, brushing against their bodies. In Bruce Nauman's Poke in the Eye/Nose/Ear, although the subject of the work is Nauman's body, the subject is videotaped and not a live performance. The visual framing is tight, the video is shot in slow motion, and the projection is huge. The viewer feels sympathetic pain and discomfort as we watch the artist's body.
