This month, one of our BLASt colleagues had a paper published in the first issue of Analyses/Rereadings/Theories journal, an electronic publication created by Maciej Wieczorek and Joanna Matyjaszczyk at Łódź University. This edition is devoted to the subject of body, form and surface, and provides different views on corporeality with relation to various art forms.
Małgorzata Olsza's article is titled Between the Subject and the Object: Chris Burden's Body Art and deals specifically with the examination of Chris Burden's most prominent and interpretatively complex pieces – Shoot (1971), Through the Night Softly (1973) and Doomed (1975). In her paper, Małgorzata argues that "the body for the artist is a space of transgression between the subject and the object, where the boundaries between the two spheres become fluid, if not questionable" (Olsza 2013).
