Record Type: concept
body art (visual works, adornment) (<visual works by location or context>, visual works (works), ... Visual and Verbal Communication (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Visual works that are usually ultimately based on ancient or traditional practices, and comprise adornment or embellishment applied to the human body. In body art in this sense, generally the body is the support upon which media are applied, either temporarily or permanently, or where the body is permanently altered. Examples include scarification, tattooing, body piercing and painting, and hair styling. For the art form that arose in the 1960s among performance artists and conceptual artists, where the human body is the medium of the artist, use "body art (performance art)."

Additional Notes:
Dutch ..... Beeldmateriaal dat vaak oorspronkelijk gebaseerd is op oude of traditionele praktijken en dat versiering van het menselijk lichaam betreft. In bodyart in deze betekenis is het lichaam meestal de drager waarop media worden aangebracht, tijdelijk of permanent. Soms wordt ook het lichaam permanent veranderd. Voorbeelden zijn insnijdingen, tatoeages, piercings, bodypainting en coiffering. Gebruik 'bodyart (performance)' voor de kunstvorm die in de jaren zestig van de 20e eeuw ontstond bij performancekunstenaars en conceptuele kunstenaars, en waarbij het menselijk lichaam het medium van de kunstenaar is.
