In exploring new media and venues of art self expression and examination are nearly limitless. Chris Burden challenged the process by involving his own body in the often near-masochistic destruction of his self which included being shot, nearly being burned alive and crawling over broken glass. At what point does self expression cease to be art? Is there a limit where we say, ‘this is not art’?
