Ah, yes . . . vintage: kind of like Irving Klaw’s photos of Bettie Page. Enjoyed your blog as well – shall we trade links?

I don’t know about earlier is better, but I like the “vintage” look of the Vaile piece. Btw, I checked out your blog and it’s quite good.

You are correct: I confused Valie w Sophie (Calle). Valie’s “man on leash” is first & that makes it “best.” (Need I mention that Valie’s original “Action Pants: Genital Panic” was decidedly better than Marina Abramovic’s Nov. ’07 re-creation at the Guggenheim?

I don’t think so, while Kulik’s is cool…Valie Export did this in the 1960s. A few decades earlier.

Oleg Kulik did it first (and better): http://video.yahoo.com/watch/331403/2152148
