Marina Abramović | Imponderabilia #art #royalacademy

Have attitudes to nudity in art changed much over the last 40 years?

Marina Abramović reflects on 'Imponderabillia', a work first performed by Abramović and Ulay in 1977. Now, you can see this groundbreaking work for yourself, reperformed at the RA.

I agree. We arent born w clothes. However i dont want to brush past a Weiner

Nudity isn’t an art…. It’s a person without clothes on.

[dhruvbhartia]

I think here we need to draw a line between nude art and sexual harassment.

[Iwanttoendit]

Imagine standing there butt naked and everyone walks between you and someone else and then this extremely smelly no shower all year person walks in 💀💀💀

[mellowmonsoon]

Nudity can be enjoyed as art and I totally agree . But it doesn’t mean you should be judged based on your level of comfort when it is intruding your personal space.

There is a time and place for everything. Nudity itself isn't the problem. Just like everyone loves to hear laughter but at a funeral? People with only half a brain will only see things from one side

[jaysid]

Nudity is art if you are not an artist

[gyaniadmi]

I can't believe she thinks nudity is art. It isn't art is just some shock value

[narendrasomawat]

Nudity can be part of art. It's not art itself. We should stop labelling something redical as great thing or great art.

It may not be that people find nudity offensive, but the fact they have to go through the artists' bodies, and physically touch them without even trying. Do you really want us to touch them to see if we are offended by its art?🤨 With the dirt, sweat, and other unknown things, upon them? Like how we supposed to know if they clean after thaaAt
At this point, this is how for sure you start another epidemic. This definitely isn't the best way to prove it..

Bisexuals will look at this and say " hell yeah!! "

The only thing that is beautiful are the comments in this section

[arogthegriot]

B.s nude art in the renaissance wasn’t live humans, and yes a nude body can be artistic in certain context, this context is just pretentious looking to offend for the sake of being right, there’s a difference between seeking to be right and seeking to do right

Passed through the performers three times on Tuesday. Absolutely amazing.

Когда разврат выдаётся за искусство- это возмутительно! В том что проходить и обтираться об голые тела. Возбуждение И что? Зачем? Чтобы возникло желание потрахаться? Не любить! Потрахаться!

I never understood why we’re so ashamed of our own anatomy. Our biology is a gift from god and created ingeniously.

[fasted]

What a terrible time to be an artist. Imagine spending a year making a beautiful painting and the museum chooses to host this... whtever it is called

[justine]

Look at her other works and decide how she is creating “art”

[NeonKue]

Black guy must’ve been a barrier gate arm for the entrance.

Art Teacher- hey why are you nude?
student- sir, actually I am trying to show my art...
