What is Live Art?

Live art is a form of performance that began in the 1960s and is generally exploratory and innovative. It involves a single artist or an artist group presenting the work before a live audience. The performances can include humans, animals, and living plants, often blurring the boundaries between art and life, and encouraging interaction with the audience.

Aquagravure

Aquagravure is a technique that combines multiple processes. It involves compressing wet paper pulp in a carved wood mold until the water drains off. The compressed paper is then painted, and ink is added to the mold to print onto the painted paper. The final work is allowed to dry. This method results in a unique textural and visual effect, blending elements of printmaking and papermaking.

Bronze

Bronze is a metal alloy made primarily of copper and tin, with a typical modern composition of 88% copper and 12% tin. Over time, bronze develops a patina, a surface color that often turns deep green due to oxidation. Large bronze objects, such as sculptures, are typically made in foundries. Bronze is valued for its durability and has been widely used throughout history for art, tools, and weapons.

Body Print

A body print is an art technique where the artist uses their body as a printing plate. This can be done by smearing grease, margarine, or oil on the skin, hair, and clothes, then pressing the body against a surface like paper. The oiled imprint is then dusted with pigment. Unlike a self-portrait, a body print explores two competing concepts of identity rather than capturing a likeness of the artist. The method emphasizes the physicality of the body while questioning the boundaries between self-representation and abstraction.
