Problem: FITM Body as Subject or Medium

This is a "Reflect and Respond" Application Assignment. For these assignments I ask you to think deeply about something I've covered in the module and to share your thoughts or opinions on the subject. These assignments are designed to help create a depth of understanding and engagement with the material that we're looking at, often by creating a space for you to dialog with your classmates.

Overview

What is the difference between artworks that take the human body as their subject matter and artworks that use the human body as their medium? To make our consideration more concrete, let's focus on two powerful artworks that each feature a single woman looking back at you: Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa (Gateways 4.9.17a) and Marina Abramovic's The Artist is Present (Gateways 2.10.7). A comparison of these two artworks helps us understand how the act of looking at a person change when that person is painted or physically present. While we can likely all agree that neither approach to art is better, I wonder if you would prefer to look at one or the other. Are there arguments you find persuasive in favor of one type of artwork or the other (that is, body as subject matter or body as medium)?
