Vito Acconci/Acconci
Studio |
World-renowned artist Vito Acconci's
early work focused on fiction and poetry,
but by the late 1960s and early 70s his
artworks began to incorporate performance,
photos, film, and video as instruments
for the exploration of both the self and
person-to-person relationships. His audio
and video installations of the mid-70s
turned exhibition spaces into community
meeting places. His architectural "games" of
the early 80s created performative spaces
for viewers, whose participation resulted
in the construction and deconstruction
of house prototypes. By the mid-80s his
work had crossed over into architecture,
landscape, and industrial design; in
1988 he started Acconci Studio, a theoretical-design
and building workshop. The Studio treats
architecture as an occasion for activity,
and they make spaces that are fluid,
changeable, and portable.
