How does something as potent and evocative as the body become a
relatively neutral artistic material? From the 1960s, much body art
and performance conformed to the anti-expressive ethos of
minimalism and conceptualism, whilst still using the compelling
human form. But how is this strange mismatch of vigour and
impersonality able to transform the body into an expressive medium
for visual art? Focusing on renowned artists such as Lygia Clark,
Marina Abramovic and Angelica Mesiti, Susan Best examines how
bodies are configured in late modern and contemporary art. She
identifies three main ways in which they are used as material and
argues that these formulations allow for the exposure of pressing
social and psychological issues. In skilfully aligning this new
typology for body art and performance with critical theory, she
raises questions pertaining to gender, inter-subjectivity, relation
and community that continue to dominate both our artistic and
cultural conversation.
