 Recording the human body with thermochromic materials - alternative material

 

using the body as the material - blood sweat urine to cast a self portrait - 

 Using the body to make art

 Effecting materials with body fluids and displaying the outcome as a redord of process

 "I work differently from a lot of conceptual artists who begin their process with an idea: I begin with the idea of an experience I want to give myself. The meaning reveals itself to me through the experience, through the process."

Everyday rituals questioned

 peoplefrom your everyday life bound together in one sculpture/material

 preserving the self with interesting materials and then minipulating them with the body as a tool

Using the body as the tool

  Janine Antoni

- interested in process as a conceptual artist.

- in everyday rituals as a sculptor

 Allan McCollum 

- multiples - something haunting and raw - like pompay dog cast in ash - very realistic , disturbing

- placed at slightly different angles almost looks like the dog is doing different poses
