While i was researching on the internet, a couple of times i came across a lady called Andrea Fryer. Although this post doesn't have much relation to the others, i found what she done really intriguing.
Andrea Fryer, on the 15th December 1997, when she was 8 months pregnant she crawled into a large black box and pushed her pregnant tummy out of a hole with a huge gold frame around it. She had exposed her big naked belly to the public to be listened, watched, tickled and patted for two hours. Fryer came up with is idea while she was studying in her third year of a media arts course and she couldnt understand installation art and how it differs from 3d sculptures. Her teacher showed her some images of famous installation arts, meanwhile she could feel her baby moving in her belly. This is when she thought to herself 'now thats a REAL work of art - an unborn baby'. Her thoughts gathered and then eventaully she told her teacher her idea and went on to thinking about how this could be done.
The final piece was held at the Sara Hilden Art Museum in an exhibition called 'My picture Your picture' which was there for nearly four months. It was a childrens based exhibition which was why it fitted in perfectly.
