The Man Who Sold His Back to an Art Dealer

I read this article the other day about “the man who sold his back to an art dealer,” or a man who agreed to have his back tattooed like a canvas and then sit in museum exhibitions to display it. After he dies, his skin will be framed and kept as art. I thought this was really interesting because the medium through which the art is expressed seems more thought-provoking than the actual design itself. When we’re doing our projects, I think it’s important to keep in mind how the art will be viewed and what effect this has on the interpretation of the art.
