A link to a delicious but controversial Jesus
apparently people are offended that he is nude (sigh). So the body is still not seen as beautiful but profane. Speaking of the body, I met Carolee Schneeman tonight and shook her hand. It was cool...

"I wanted my actual body to be combined with the work as an integral material-a further dimension of the construction...I am both image maker and image"

I am jealous, that must have been amazing, to see her. In reality. :)

-She was formidable, very tall (and I am 6ft myself) and her hands were cool and soft. I waited to speak with her (remember I am oh so respectful :-) and I felt sort of like an art groupie. She looked me in the eye and was really nice, I even joked with her about something briefly. I am glad I worked up the courage to do it. It was a cool moment and she is brave to place her intimacy on the wall as she does.
