Art Body Collective: Selected Videos from the Collection of Jefferson Godard

  • Jamesmurray_large

 

Local video-art enthusiast Jefferson Godard has selected six works from his private collection in which artists use their bodies for provocative experiments. Exploring the possibilities and limitations of the human body, these artists record torture, self-mutilation, and sexuality. The show features works both celebrated and obscure, including Douglas Gordon's Making of a Monster and James Murray's recent Electrical Performances: Push It, which addresses the power falsely attributed to music. Murray tests the physical limits of translating music to his body by converting the amplitude and frequency of Salt-n-Pepa's "Push It" into electrical current that courses through him along with the beat.
