For my performance art, I got a white body suit, some paint, and invited people to paint me.
In my previous assignment my professor was dissapointed that I didn't open up and expose myself. So I put myself an awkward situation, and then deprived myself of senses, both to expose myself, and to make the painters feel like they could do whatever they wanted. I wore a blindfold (even though I could barely see in the first place) and put in earbuds with medium-loud music so I couldn't hear distinct voices or what they were saying.
The point of the art was to expose myself and put myself at the mercy of others. I was inspired by the performance in class where the artist allowed people to cut off her clothes, and threaten her physically. While this is a bit more peaceful, the idea was the same.
Thank you to Madison Bass for video taping the performance, and to those who participated.

This was very creative and smart so you wouldn't get the paint on you! People seemed really into painting you and people definitely looked at you.
