Text über den Künstler
For 24 years Skip Arnold has maintained a transgresssive practice of performance, film and installation art.
His work finds its foundations in the historical canons of performance that address and dissect the body politic – confronting the body as politicized, enculturated, but also addressing the body through the lens of humanitarian and ontological inquiries pertaining to strength, endurance, existence, and presence.
Skip Arnold is uncompromising in his work – he does not follow current trends, nor does he get stuck doing the same performances over and over. While he retains certain themes or courses of inquiry (the body, narcissism, the cinematic, dissection of a cultural / or social existence), his work has evolved considerably, especially with his recent sojourn in France.

Dazu kamen Blitzlichter und ein Soundtrack mit einer Litanei von Industrielärm und Obszönitäten. Die Performance endete als der Künstler das Bewusstsein verlor.<br />15:00 min<br />Zero One Gallery, Los Angeles<h1>Skip Arnold</h1><em>Scarecrow</em>, 1986<br />PerformanceRussell's Flats, Conklin Fords, NY bei Sonnenuntergang<br />20:00 min<h1>SKIP ARNOLD</h1><p><em>Head Shaking #1</em>, 2009<br />16 mm Farbfilm überspielt auf DVD<br />04:30 min</p><h1>SKIP ARNOLD</h1><p><em>Doorstop Brussels</em>, 2007</p><h1>SKIP ARNOLD</h1><p><em>Skip on Time</em>, Brüssel 2006</p><div><h1>SKIP ARNOLD</h1><p><em>Skip on Time</em>, Brüssel 2006</p></div><div><h1>SKIP ARNOLD</h1><p><em>Speciman</em>, 2003<br />Tea Building<br />F EST & Union Projects, London</p></div><div><div><h1>SKIP ARNOLD</h1><p>DETAIL <em>Speciman</em>, 2003<br />Tea Building<br />F EST & Union Projects, London</p></div></div><div><div><h1>SKIP ARNOLD</h1><p><em>Nove Zomky</em>, 2002</p></div></div><div><div><div><h1>SKIP ARNOLD</h1><p><em>Nove Zomky</em>, 2002</p></div></div></div><div><div><div><h1>SKIP ARNOLD</h1><p><em>Grüzi</em>, 2002<br />Performance während der ArtI33IBasel / Art Unlimited</p></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><h1>SKIP ARNOLD</h1><p>DETAIL <em>Grüzi</em>, 2002<br />Performance während ArtI33IBasel / Art Unlimited</p></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><h1>SKIP ARNOLD</h1><p><em>Cleaning in China</em>, 2001<br />2nd Open Performance Festival, Bejing, China</p></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><h1>SKIP ARNOLD</h1><p><em>Looking Down On You</em>, 2000<br />3-stündige Performance auf der Glasdecke der Galerie<br />Brüssel, Belgien</p></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><h1>SKIP ARNOLD</h1><p><em>Marquee</em>, 1999<br />Tägliche 3-Stunden-Performance während den Eröffnungstagen der 7.
