  Stuart Brisley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stuart Brisley (born in 1933 in Haslemere, England) is widely regarded as the godfather of British performance art.
Obtaining notoriety during the 1960s and 1970s, his work dealt with challenging the human body in a physical, psychological and emotional manner, and often used faeces as the subject or a material in the construction of his work.
In 1976, Brisley initiated an archive of the living memories of the inhabitants of Peterlee in County Durham, a project which has recently been revived with the help of fellow artist Tim Brennan.

In an artwork using text by Stuart Brisley, well known performance artist, professor at the Slade School of Art, and enduring influence on the present generation of young British artists, a famous national figure is engaged in a telephone conversation:
Stuart Brisley's piece was made three or four years ago yet, as so often, art is two jumps ahead of reality.
Stuart Brisley's artwork wonderfully caught the middle-aged man playing two roles, the dull apparatchik speaking the lines that others had written, and the passionate human being involved in an affair of the heart.

THIRTY years ago, the artist Stuart Brisley lay for 10 days in a bath with only his nose and mouth above the water, which was full of floating debris.
Eventually, the other artists participating in the mixed exhibition, of which this performance was part, asked him to stop (perhaps because, in various ways, including olfactory, the rest of the show was being upstaged).
Brisley was part of an international wave of performance art, or body art, which broke over the art world in the late Sixties and early Seventies.

 Intimations of Abfall - Works & Texts by Stuart Brisley - 1960 - 2000
Hence the radical practice of Stuart Brisley can appear to be overlooked despite the manifest influence – not least in terms of a focus on the human body and the body politic – that his work has exerted.
This small selection of work from 1960 to the present is concerned with the expressive power of Brisley's oeuvre and focuses on works where the human body, albeit sited in conditions of degradation, articulates involuntary expressions of being alive.
This piece stemmed from a long study of the human figure and from an engagement with material as subject, concerns relevant to the painting Mairead Farrell, Dirty Protest (1995) and to Pinpointing Ordure (2000) which concentrates on the breakdown of ordure into universally distributed particles (from shit to nosodes, the homeopathic extract from excreta).
