Body interesting- can show emotions, feelings, variations, how people judge you on your body, what you choose to show, what parts of the body mean, quick judgements, how it means something to you. How do you choose to present yourself as a being, how this effects others. Within each society/culture all sorts of visual languages impacts us use those signs to dress ourselves. Sub cultural groups
Comparison
Have to be open minded as an artist
Bodies in art:
Anthropomorphic
Maria Abramovic - body as art
Just male artists, commisioners, is that why lots of naked females painted
Painting females self indulgent, familiarity
Womens body more interesting, more natural - because we've been taught that's natural
Subconsciously choose what your baby will look like - choosing your partner
Use your body as a commodity - spectators, freak shows, capitalism, money, politics have effects on our own bodies
Sarah Lucas
Not important that I've experienced it more important that these experiences exist
Control - images of other people
Make connections in your own head that other people can't see
Art is a speaking platform
Stuck to our own limitations - trying to achieve equality but only looking at female body - all have access to
A lot of art is asexual about other things. Sexuality is rarely present in art but a huge part of all of our lives. That's what's good about feminist art over the past years
Concluding thoughts: bodies are interesting, all human
Celebration of the body, non sexual
