SKIP ARNOLD

Skip Arnold's performance and body-based work evokes the art of Chris Burden and the late Bob Flanagan. Arnold challenges the voyeuristic relationship between object and viewer inventing startling social contexts. Skip Arnold incorporates his audience into his work, demanding complicity with his discomfort and risk. "What is common to all my work, Arnold states, is 'Skip' - Skip is the art work; the act of doing, my actions, my choices."

In addition to a Guggenheim fellowship in which he used an experimental speed boat to navigate the Bermuda Triangle, (1995), Arnold received a National Endowment for the Arts award (1993) and the Brodie Arts Foundation Fellowship for Performance (1992). Most recently, he had been included in the Sunshine Noir exhibit that originated from the Louisiana Museum of Art in Denmark and in The Body: Expression/Impression, at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Other museums and institutions that Skip Arnold has exhibited include The New Museum for Contemporary Art, New York, The Long Beach Museum and the Newport Harbor Museum, the Wienner Secession, Vienna Austria, The Hayward Gallery, London and the Offems Kulturhaus, Linz, Austria.
