The Art of Ideas and the Media Generation
The performance movement of media through this time was drastically effected by several major government and cultural movements that allowed artist at this time to redefine what art means and the use of the human body in which it flows. Focus on the artist body was made predominant started from 1969 work "Street works IV" as Acconci acted out using his body revolutionized the performance industry. focus around the dimensions and space around the human body, that is the goal starting from here.
this image represents how the artist views negative space and the ability to fill this void with human positioning in order to take advantage of the dimensional space. it is this fulfillment only the body can use that paved the way for rituals and explains their popularity today. Such ideas of a living sculpture were the forefront of many artist pieces in this time.Scott Burton pair behavior tableaux consisted of an hour long performance of static poses in order to appease and disengage from the audience through body language.
This picture represents the use of the body and the different ritualistic performances that increased in number from 69-86. even today the media movement towards the body image and positions are key to the production of new age art. only from here can we hope to see continuing usage of the body as a prop.
