hearing about marina really got me interested in her work. today in class mr zuccman mentioned that some of these artists are "on the edge." the fact that so many of these artists are on the edge makes them more interesting. when we were learning about the painters it wasnt anything new or exciting. However, once we got into the artists that ive never heard of, i was more interested right away.
Marina is definitely an artist that is on the edge. her performances are so crazy that i want to look all of them up in more detail.
Her rhythm 0 piece has to be my favorite of all of her pieces. in a video she did explaining this performance she mentions that she makes herself an object like all the objects on the table that people can use on her. i thought this was very interesting because for the longest time woman have been trying to show and almost prove that we are more than just objects in this society, we are equal to men. And now here is this artist who puts herself in that object category. this definitely made me think.
After looking at a few more of her pieces i realized that lowering her self wasnt part of the experience of her art, rather me just over thinking things haha :) her purpose was mainly to experience her body in every way, and being conscious while doing so. Marina is definitely an artist i will never forget!
