Vito Acconci - Trademarks (1970)

[s-o-r-i-s-a]

Vito Acconci was one of the first to experiment with performance art, in which the artist’s own body was treated like clay—a material to be manipulated, altered, posed, punished, and displayed. In Trademarks, Acconci established a task to execute and then performed it diligently, biting as many parts of his naked body as he could reach and documenting his self-mutilation with photographs and printer’s ink. Like much of his work, Trademarks seeks to breach the boundaries between inside and outside, private and public. The work is also intended as an astute, even humorous, commentary on the branding and marketing of artists and their labor.

Mind maps: These are the only two remaining photos of the patient Marie Liebs work at the Heidelberg psychiatric hospital. They are taken around 1894 and the patterns on the floor are made from torn bedsheets. There is no written statement about these works, but appear to carefully display secret ritual and coded language.
