This is another book I checked out from the library about performance art. I specifically focused on the chapter entitled Performing the Object but was surprised to find inspiration in a chapter entitled The Performer is in All of Us, giving examples of works in which the audience or public is the performer. This is of interest to me considering my last project was left in the hands of the public. I think other people are so fascinating to study.
Specific artists from this book whose works I found useful to my research included Chris Burden and Jeppe Hein. In similar ways to Vito Acconci, these artists had me questioning how some of these performances could be considered art, which was something I struggled with in my own assignment.
