Two Artists Jump on Tracey Emin’s Bed
Mad For Real
Turner Prize Exhibition | 1999

A controversial one, maybe? I happen to think of galleries as a kind of public space. Having two performance artists break the conventions of gallery patronage to mess with an already controversial work that blends the notion of object/artwork and our participation/perception.

Spiral Jetty
Robert Smithson
Great Salt Lake, Utah | 1970

Performances in public spaces are wonderful, and in a way I guess the making of Spiral Jetty would have been a public performance, but I am particularly taken with the process of making this earthwork.
