[...] Vanessa Beecroft is known for her performance art based on social and cultural commentary. Her images are extremely striking and her concepts deeply evolved. “There is a passive aggressive beauty to this art,” said Roberta Smith for the New York Times, and I couldn’t agree more with that comment on a general social perception of her art, but to me it mixes so many of the elements that I lust for in life, art, and expression things such as color, warm minimalism, the unrefined yet completely fabricated all in one teaspoon, attention to human body and abstraction of our everyday perception.

i am totally aware what her new exhibition is about but as i have not had the chance to see it or photograph it i didnt include it yet. i will do a review specifically on it after i see it. when i said warm it was more in regards to stirring or provoking emotion. i was not using warm in the most conventional sense. the same goes for my comment on color. whether there is color in her work or it is monochromatic as in her newest exhibition there is a very conscious relationship with color, which i can relate to and appreciate.

VB’s work on Deitch is not what is pictured above. It is not even very similar to this. Her work is actually not that incredibly colorful nor very warm, which seems strange to describe her work that way. Her work is actually more confrontational than warm. You are usually confronted with the performance and even if you don’t feel uncomfortable yourself, you can see it in other viewers. She uses this confrontation to make the viewer think about issues.
