Project 5: Regarding: The Body

Make a work (installation or performance or document) that is about the BODY.  

Think about the various ways to celebrate, explore, critique or use the body.  Think about ways the body is adorned, protected, contained or exposed.  Think about experiences the body goes through every day – and how you might transfer or develop an experience for another (the “viewer”).

The body can be the material itself.  A work can be made to house the body.  A piece can be made as a record of the body’s actions.  “The body” in question can be that of the artist or that of the viewer.  "The record" can be made of the artist’s actions, or of the interaction of the viewers with the piece (or a record doesn’t have to be made at all).  The work can be interactive, either intentionally or unintentionally so – or passive, to be viewed.
