“STIMULATION” SERIES, 1980
In the series “Stimulation”, artists were invited to partially alter their outer appearances through certain exercises, such as repeatedly pulling on their lips and ears (for their enlargement), nosewrinkling to help deep wrinkles to emerge, bowing down to develop the muscles of the back, etc. In other words, Stimulation offered artists methods for their own mutation. These exercises were rewarded with real money.
