This is the artist Chris Burden’s Metropolis II from 2011. It is on display at Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) courtesy of the Nicolas Berggruen Charitable Foundation, and is located on the ground floor of the Broad building. I have posted it because this work simply brings me joy, and seems to do so for those of every age and background. If I can spread a little joy, then I am pleased to do so.

Chris Burden – Doorway to Heaven (1973)

Chris Burden, Through The Night Softly, 1973.

Broken Glass: In his ironically titled 1973 piece, Through the Night Softly, Burden slithered across broken glass in his underwear with his hands bound behind his back. An audience uncomfortably watched Burden’s agonizing pain as shards of glass shredded the front of his body. As if this wasn’t enough, Burden went on to purchase late night commercial spots on a local TV station, running a ten second clip of the piece so that the discomfort of pain could be felt within the comfort of homes around California.

What was the point of these acts and how can this abuse of your own body be called “art”?!?

These vintage prints from an edition of five were acquired directly from performance artist Chris Burden in 1975. They document some of his peak twink era performance art pieces. They didn't sell together last year, but maybe they'll sell separately this month? Which, wtf, just spend the money and keep them together, Burden collector. I'm sure LA Modern will give you combined shipping.

Images: Prelude to 220, or 110 (1971), where Burden was bolted to the floor next to buckets of water with a live electrical wire in them; Bed Piece (1972), where he stayed in bed in a gallery for 22 days; and 747 (1973), where he shot a pistol at a plane departing from LAX.
