The expanded body. Art and performance in Italy, 1968-1980
In Italy, between the 1960s and 1970s, the body of artists and poets became fully visible for the first time also thanks to new media (photography, cinema, television) and their mass diffusion. The transformation of the artist into performer is part of a tendency, typical of the same historical period, to dissolve the boundaries between different media, traditions and contexts. The course examines this transformation in a series of cases in which the body, the living presence of the artist, becomes an object acquires its own exemplary value. Texts, films, and photographs of performance in Italy and the broader area of performance experiences in the international field will be examined.
