BEING AN ARTIST...BEING A LADEEEE ARTIST
----- Lisa Frankland
This project initiated a discussion based on how we survive as artists post institution/study with a particular focus on how and if people feel gender inequality exists and if so in which ways.
The exercise consisted of the following: Each participant is given a print out of a famous nude from art history and asked to direct the recreation of the scene using the bodies of the other participants, then once created the director can change the scene in any way they see fit.
