Three works from the "Transfer Drawing" series (1971-72)
+ A Feed-Back Situation (1971)
Dennis OPPENHEIM (USA) + A Feed-Back Situation (1971)

Active as an artist since the 1960s, Dennis Oppenheim presents a communication game-like work using the human body he developed in the early '70s together with members of his family. "Transfer Drawing" shows Oppenheim drawing with a pen on his son's naked back, while the son tries to transfer what he senses onto a board. On display are three versions involving father, son and daughter, as well as "A Feed-Back Situation", in which both father and son draw on each other's backs.
