5.0 out of 5 stars
An amazing and insightful look at masochistic art practices!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Contract With The Skin: Masochism, Performance Art, and the 1970s (Paperback)
O'Dell's text is one of the few, and quite possibly the best, exploration into the often misunderstood "masochistic" art practices in 1970s America. Covering five artists (Vito Acconci, Ulay & Abramovic, Gina Pane, and Chris Burden), Contract With the Skin offers the reader thought-provoking ideas about what masochism in performance art REALLY means. (It's not about pain, per se.) Kathy O'Dell forces the reader to re-think their assumptions about art practice, and sheds new light on problematic subject matter.
