andwhatdoyousee: Hannah Wilke, still shot from Through the Large Glass, 1976.  Through the Large Glass documents one of Wilke’s most infamous (and awesome) performances, a striptease she performed at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, behind the cracked glass of Duchamp’s The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even. As Wilke herself would later put it: “To strip oneself bare of the veils that society has imposed on humanity is to be the model of one’s own ideology. The role model is now both the woman and the artist herself.” All of my ideas about art, ever.
