Eleanor Antin: "Helen's Odyssey" | Art21 "Exclusive"

Uploaded by art21org on Jun 12, 2008
Episode #015: Eleanor Antin's exhibition Helen's Odyssey (2007) installed at Ronald Feldman Fine Arts in New York. Antin discusses the historical figure Helen of Troy, and how she became the inspiration for photographic works such as Constructing Helen (2007).
An influential performance artist, filmmaker, photographer, and installation artist, Eleanor Antin delves into history—whether of ancient Rome, the Crimean War, the salons of nineteenth-century Europe, or her own Jewish heritage and Yiddish culture—as a way to explore the present. Antin is a cultural chameleon, masquerading in theatrical or stage roles to expose her many selves.

I thought it was a naked lady, I clicked on it and saw it was a statue so I felt creepy. Then I saw it was a woman made to look like a statue and I felt even creepier.
