Abstract

Three performance pieces I did in the early 1970s raised the question of how art may be illegal, whether it can be illegal.Broadjump 71 (fig .1) is a performance/installation. In it, a board, an area for a broadjump, is placed on the floor. Before the exhibition, I do a standing broadjump and mark off my distance on the board. During the exhibition, visitors are challenged to better my mark: a viewer who succeeds is entitled to one hour with one of two women whose photographs hang on the wall next to the broadjump area.
