Witness History - Shoot: A milestone in performance art
Download Shoot: A milestone in performance art
In November 1971 a young American artist decided to get a friend to take a shot at him - in the name of art. His name was Chris Burden and the shooting would go down in the history of performance art. He spoke to Lucy Burns in 2012 about the ideas behind the event.
This programme is a rebroadcast.
