		It was of course a dream for Vanessa Beecroft to stage one of her tableaux-vivants in such a sublimely reflexive architecture, and considering her emotional attachment to Berlin, where she used to visit her grandmother in the former East German part of the city.
		Despite Beecroft's set of rules that are allegedly "interpreted" by the models, none of the living sculptures fainted from the voyeuristic gaze of the amateurs in the audience (though mercifully both a psychoanalyst and an emergency nurse were on the ground ready to intervene.
		Notwithstanding the current attention for process-oriented art, Beecroft is keen to refer to Italian Mannerist painting or Neo-Classical sculpture rather than performances by Yves Klein or Gilbert & George, and even with her mimetic predilection for Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s cinema she avoids the inclination toward lesbian sadomasochism.

		Beecroft's provocative work, which combines elements of fashion and performance art, is tied to her obsession with her eating disorder, exercise bulimia.
		Beecroft has said that the whole purpose of starting her "Book of Food," which is, in essence, a bulimic's diary, was to show it to a doctor, and to get professional help for and perspective on her obsession.
		I personally find the earlier Beecroft pieces, in which the girls aren't so perfect, and in which there is a much greater variety of bodies, much more eloquent and moving, because of their vulnerability.

		(Beecroft says she is a keen admirer of Helmut Newton and Rainer Werner Fassbinder.) Each of her shows is exhaustively videoed, with photographers allowed to take close-up shots, a practice that verges on the creepy.
		Beecroft, a petite figure in a buttoned-up raincoat, made no mention of her long struggle with bulimia - one factor, surely, in her almost callous use of female nudity.
		The diary was placed in the middle of a Milan art gallery; Beecroft then directed 30 women, most of them fellow art students dressed in her own clothes, to move around it.

		But Beecroft's stiletto nudes are far less confrontational than, say, the natural body statements of her predecessors Carolee Schneeman, Karen Finley and Annie Sprinkle; identical thin mannequin bodies don't allude to fertility, or pornography.
		Beecroft placed the men, dressed impeccably in their formal summer white uniforms, in military formation in a large white gallery.
		Though it was Beecroft's performance, she was not allowed to bring anything except photographers, the gallerist, promoters, and, of course, her reputation.

	Vanessa Beecroft: Classic Cruelty
		Fashion is used by Beecroft not to individuate but to homogenize, and even nudity is exploited not as an expression of sexuality but rather as a way of reducing the models to an appearance of sameness — nudity is, after all, the original uniform.
		Beecroft frequently refers to her girls as an "army," thus implicitly positioning herself as commander or general.
		And perhaps at such a point Beecroft’s cruel classicism inspires one of her models to remark that, although there are conventions regarding the usage of human beings in science and war, there are none in art.

	ArtForum: Vanessa Beecroft - Brief Article
		Vanessa Beecroft's performances, on the other hand, invite us to gawk at living, breathing men and women, human statues of a sort, who stand still and submit to viewers' stares without returning them.
		Modeling is all about representation, particularly self-representation; in that sense models are already almost sculpture, as attested by the word "mannequin" applying to both a human and an artificial fig ure.
		Despite the clear contrasts with her earlier work--female versus male, private versus public, seduction versus force, and so on--an unexpected continuity emerges, for although military personnel are not normally considered in terms of appearance, the disciplined stylization of every detail of their carriage, dress, and demeanor attests to a certain essential representational aspect.

		In one of her works, entitled "Show," Beecroft features 20 naked and skimpily clad models standing awkwardly on spiky stiletto heels.
		The models never make eye contact and rarely move, save the occasional shift of their wafer-like bodies.
		While some might be inclined to view Beecroft's work as objectifying women, the artist explains "Show" as her way of expressing her own painful and pathological obsession with thinness and her chronic desire to be fat-free.

		"Inventor of a unique artistic language in her performance pieces, the Italian artist Vanessa Beecroft directly addresses themes central to contemporary culture everywhere: identity, multiplicity, the body and sexuality, and in the process, mixes glamour with the history of art.
		Known for pieces during which multiple, beautiful models stage a ritual of being and appearing, mostly in the nude, Beecroft involves the audience in a direct confrontation, pushing to the limit the tension of a happening that is simultaneously unique, real and abstract.
		This book is the catalog of the Fall 2003 exhibition at Castello di Rivoli in Turin and is the most complete publication of the artist's work to date and includes critical text as well as a detailed biography and bibliography.
