5 Questions
1. Throughout the history of art, the body has taken on various roles reflecting the signifiance of that time period. What does contemporary art and the body reflect about our time?
2. Does the perception of deformation to the figure add to the how the viewer sees an artwork?
3. When the body is placed in a specific setting the context of that artwork changes. Does this benefit the artwork?
4. When creating artwork with more than one figure, the relationship of the artwork and the viewer can bring up feelings from our subconscious. Isn't that the main goal of an artwork, to create an emotional reaction to the viewer?
5. Is contemporary art a key tool to breaking down taboos of our society?
