One of Vito Acconci’s performance pieces that I have chosen is “Seedbed” and one of the feminist artist works that I have chosen id Judy Chicago’s “Birth Trinity”. They both are similar in one way and that is the topic of birth. Vito is trying to masturbate and spread his sperms as if planting seeds and Judy’s work shows how a woman reproduces a baby. The differences are many. First is that Vito is doing a live performance while Judy’s work is a painting.
