Jerri S. Kaiser said...: I was at UCLA during Burden's tenure and we'd hear things but I never saw him that I know of. It is reminiscent of Burroughs and the apple on the head.

Monkeyman, do you really want your son to emulate that kind of danger?; 12/05/2007 10:58:00 AM
sconsetmonkey said...: He lives for danger.

But you need to consider that the work presented in a gallery setting was that of photographs and text. Burden was much more well known in photography circles than as a performance artist. Issues swirling around not the act but the documentation of an act.

I'm not implying that Burden didn't perform such acts but questioning the validity of said documentation.

His more recent works of interactive sculpture have and element of destruction and danger that are rather seductive.; 12/05/2007 04:30:00 PM
