Conscious Corpus

Description:

Conscious Corpus was a multiday performance art program by Margaret Dragu. It was a series of investigations of the body that drew upon a holistic lexicon from both Dragu’s fine arts and body arts practice.

The work explored the body in its medical, spiritual, and erotic capacities using anatomy, kinetics, physiology, language, music, and technology.

It consisted of two parts: Corp Domestique, which ran the duration of the program and Corpus Delicious, which took place on the final evening.

Dragu later produced a video work, Corpus Delicious, incorporating documentation from the program which she later screened at Western Front.
