DENNIS OPPENHEIM
Dennis Oppenheim repousse depuis plus de trente ans les limites des conventions artistiques. Il se fait connaître dès le début des années 60 en tant qu’artiste précurseur du Body Art et du Land Art, s’inscrivant ainsi dans la lignée des artistes conceptuels comme Chris Burden, Robert Smithson, Bruce Nauman et Joseph Beuys.

Dennis Oppenheim’s conceptual artworks include performance, sculpture, and photographs. In the early 1970s, he was in the vangard of artists using film and video in relation to performance. In a series of works produced between 1970 and 1974, Oppenheim used his body as a site to challenge the self, exploring personal risk, transformation, and communication through ritualistic performance actions and interactions.
