Death Row Inmate Gives His Body to Art

http://www.theartnewspaper.com/article.asp?id=16027

I have never blogged before so hopefully this works!

This is a link to an article that I received in my The Art Newspaper weekly email. It is quite disturbing what this artist (Danish-based artist Marco Evaristti) wants to do with a body. While this may be a more literal meaning of "The BODY in contemporary art," I got this email the same week Brooke sent us the email about the blog. Coincidence?! This artist is concerned with ethical issues of capital punishment and issues about the environment, and in this particular example he plans to use a human body as a means of expression.

Thoughts, comments, concerns!
