Episode 1030 | How can the artist become artwork?

What happens when the artist becomes the
artwork? In this episode of Exploring Art
Podcast, hosts Abby, Nicko, and Mohamed
dive into the fascinating world of performance
art, examining Ben Vautier’s radical 1964
piece where he sat in the street declaring,
“Look at me. That’s all it takes; I’m art.”
Was he truly art, or was it just a clever stunt?
Join us as we unravel the history of
performance art, explore the rebellious Fluxus
movement, and debate whether a person can
really be considered an artwork. From Marina
Abramović’s silent endurance to Andy
Warhol’s modern-day influencer parallels, we
connect past and present to uncover what
defines art in the first place.
