1. Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, find line 4. Write down what it says:
uh, the actual nearest book is the phone book.....but the nearest good book is The 20th Century Art Book hell yeah! page 4 is Acconi, Vito and a photograph of his performance art piece called Seedbed.....and just because i'm bored....i'll write what it says about him *ahem* (and for your daily art lesson ;) ): "At the back of the gallery, concealed beneath a ramp, lurks Acconci who masturbates to fantasies about the viewer above. His thoughts are relayed via speaker in the corner. Simultaneously addressing and alienating the gallery visitor, the work speaks of pleasure, contact and desire, and conversely of invisibility and failure, perhaps as a metaphor for artistic creation. Seedbed is one of the most infamous performance pieces of the 1970s. As a reaction against the mathematical precision of Minimailst art of the 1960s, Acconci sought to fill his art with intensity and passion. He later decised methods of reaching a wider audience, such as his car roofcracks which inflated to reveal hugr penises. He assumed that an art which could be brought directly to the public, and could not be sold, would cause the collapse of the gallery system. Ironically, his brand of Body Art, where he used himself as the subject of his work, was superseded by the 1980's gallery boom." :)
