Body Extension Artists

Rebecca Horn is a great example of a body extension artist. We looked at multiple pieces of her work in class, and I was very fascinated with how she conducted these pieces. My favorite is the circle like structure shown below. I also really am interested on how it would feel to have your arms being as long as your body essentially.

Jessica Harrison, is an artist that makes projections of skin pieces. I don't know how to really describe them besides the fact that they are very strange. She has a series of pieces- furniture from a skin designed room that really are quite trippy. My favorite remains the chair, which has hair on the pillow. 

Marape is an artist most well known for his drum head, that when one person talks into one of end of it, it echoes in the wearers head. I would really like to know how this feels, the heaviness of the piece itself as well as the sounds. 

Bart Hess is cool artist. I find his work very interesting. He made a costume for Lady Gaga a couple years ago, that got a lot of attention and further more noticed by others. A lot of his works are in collaborations with other artists. My favorite of his projects are a series under the words of "slimeing". I just think they would be so strange and fun to touch. 

LucyandBart is a collaboration of artists between Lucy McRae and Bart Hess. They work a lot with fashion, body, and architecture. Both enjoy body manipulation and focusing on different materials. My favorite is the bubble body, the colors are absolutely astounding.
