	AE160D Unit 8: Chris Burden
		Born in 1946, the notorious Southern California Performance artist Chris Burden attended the University of California in Irvine during the height of the Vietnam War protest era.
		By confronting viewers with his life threatening and sensational performances Burden suggested that the public was becoming increasingly desensitized to violence.
		The exceedingly high-risk body works crafted by Chris Burden are a means of working through ideas, while attracting attention to the violence in our culture and the media, which seems to be in command of all it delivers.

	Representations
		WHEN CHRIS BURDEN FIRED a pistol at an airliner taking off from LAX (Los Angeles International Airport) in 1973, he committed an artwork of terrific suggestiveness, one that helped win him a prominent place among his contemporaries.
		Burden’s 747 is an art object that existed as such only in a vanishing instant of time now memorialized in its photographic and textual documentation.
		We can learn, if we are so inclined, that Burden was visited by the FBI but dismissed from their consideration, evidently, because he was out of range when he fired his gun.

	Chris Burden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chris Burden (born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1946) is an American artist.
		Burden's own reputation as a performance artist started to grow in the early 1970s after he made a series of controversial performances in which the idea of personal danger as artistic expression was central.
		His most well-known act from that time is perhaps the performance piece Shoot that was made in F Space in Santa Ana, California in 1971, in which he was shot in his left arm by an assistant from a distance of about five meters.

	ZWIRNER & WIRTH \| Chris Burden
		Chris Burden and his work emerged in the early 1970s in Los Angeles amidst a growing movement of “alternative” art forms and groups including earth, body, video, performance and conceptual art.
		Burden said that his work is the “acting out of an idea, the materialization of the idea”.
		This sinister joke, however, is actually embedded in a larger, multi-layered dialogue Burden has been engaged in from the very first performance, namely questioning the necessity of the art object and the role of the artist and the art viewer in contemporary society.

		Chris has a voice that speaks to both teens and adults, and Whale Talk was the perfect book to bring the two groups together in discussion.
		Because of his background as a family therapist, the subjects of his novels, and the passion he has for youth and their dilemmas, I am positive that his insights would be of great value as a speaker for adult audiences as we ponder, "what's with" the youth of our day.
		One high school student asked Chris about his feelings on the challenge in Solon and he spoke very openly about intellectual freedom and had many people in tears while he related the true life experience that helped him write the story that was challenged there.

		For many a casual observer and art critic alike, interest in Chris Burden's career began abruptly and ended with similar haste at 7:45p.m., November 19, 1971 in a gallery in Santa Ana, California.
		A work of Burden's imagination, the bridge does not traverse any tangible obstacle, but is rather a self-referential construction that pushes against the limitations of its own infrastructure, each steel ligament and tendon contributing to the maintenance of its own form.
		Burden made a spectacle of his own maledom in many of his early performances.

		Burden, for instance, executed a series of self-punishing physical ordeals that included having himself shot in the arm.
		Not to neglect a bit of controversy, however, Burden pushes legal parameters with the addition of a roof parapet, and the structure is built to be able to function as a domestic dwelling.
		By narrowing the gulf between fine art and practical use, as well as between art and industry, Burden’s vision for a humanistic restructuring of the future exposes the disjunction between the values of financial and property groups and the needs of society.

		Shoot took place not long after the Five-Day Locker Piece, 1971, which was in fact Burden's MFA exhibition at University of California, Irvine, an exercise in confinement and sensory deprivation that developed an unforeseen social dimension by turning the artist into a captive audience for campus hall trawlers.
		At twenty-five, Burden secured a choice spot in "Body Movements," a 1971 show of Minimal and Conceptual art at the La Jolla Museum of Contemporary Art, alongside such already established figures as Bruce Nauman and Burden's old Pomona College undergraduate professor Mowry Baden.
		According to Burden, though, it was a "Man of the Year"--type piece in Esquire in 1973 that exerted the greatest impact.

		In conjunction with the solo exhibition 14 Magnolia Double Lamps on display at the Gallery (15 September - 5 November), the South London Gallery is delighted to present one of Chris Burden's greatest works, The Flying Steamroller.
		As the steamroller nears the end of its circular motion, or when the spinning momentum is exhausted, the hydraulic piston is slowly retracted and the steamroller gently lands.
		Burden is well-known for incorporating danger into his performances; while The Flying Steamroller is perhaps one of his more whimsical pieces, it still engages with ideas of power and risk.

	Chris Burden- A Review by Donald Goddard
		After all, Chris Burden is still alive after putting himself in jeopardy several times and there are still bridges standing.
		Nonetheless, the Burden's bridges are literally paradigms of complexity, with their incredible criss-crossing of struts and their regimented legions of bolts and nuts.
		Continuity between consciousness and the world, between the convolutions of human experience and the laws of physics, is curiously distorted, courting and avoiding tragedy, producing comedy.

		It is a landscape that reflects overtly political contradictions, seen in pieces such as Andy Warhol's Vote McGovern poster, depicting a leering, green-faced Richard Nixon, or Robert Gober's immaculately faked newspaper stacks, or Richard Phillips's portrait of George W Bush.
		Or it might echo the relationship between the individual and power: Chris Burden's photograph of himself firing a pistol at an airliner, Felix Gonzales-Torres's puzzles, Cady Noland's images of Lee Harvey Oswald and Patty Hearst.
		Since 1997, Burden has built a series of scaled reproductions of bridges using parts from Meccano and Erector engineering sets, popular children's toys during the last century.
