ARTIST STATEMENT ON OBJECTIFIED:
“Do the living spaces that surround us own us or do we own them? My Objectified series poses these questions and allows viewers to come up with answers by creating a conversation within the self. What is all this stuff in my living space and why do I choose these material items? There seems to be a sort of cohesive relationship built between animate and inanimate objects in the home. We want to entice you to explore four powerful examples of common living spaces that will come alive through human models fashioned with body paint.
About 14 years ago, I was accused by a conservative friend of objectifying women in my artwork. Since I collaborate with consenting (often enthusiastic) models & performers, I laughed and thought I’d delve deeper into the phrase “Objectified” and the domestic expectations that were being placed on me, questioning consumerism and identity. Now, at nearly 40 and having grown past many of these societal pressures, I revisit this series within the context of our current political climate to examine the historical female nude within the context of art history, issues of consent, laws that remove the freedom of choice women have over their own bodies, and social media censorship.” - Trina Merry
Trina Merry is a leading body painter in a generation that emerged in the wake of the influence of Yves Klein, Yayoi Kusama, and Verushka. Merry studied with Robert Wilson and Marina Abramovic as a Watermill Center summer resident, creating five living bodypaint installations on site. There she absorbed their unique attention to space, silence in stillness and transported these applications in her work to the chaotic neon streets of New York and subsequently, the world. She has also studied with Alex and Allyson Grey on “Visionary Art and the Light Body”. She has crafted her own visual and conceptual vocabulary that emerged through her focus on the points of juxtaposition between the organic human form and the phallic hard lines of architecture.
Merry has performed and exhibited at The Whitney Biennial, Getty Villa, San Jose Museum of Art (with Andy Goldsworthy), Attleboro Arts Museum, ESMoA, Museo De Bardini (Florence), Edward Hopper House, Red Dot Miami, Superfine! Art Fair, Satellite Art Show, WORKS San Jose & SOMArts alongside the Guerilla Girls. Merry currently lives in New York City has a BFA in film.
Performances were created for and exhibited at Untitled Space “OBJECTIFIED” to coincide with Tribeca Art + Culture Night. A selection of her photography was exhibited and you can click here to see the exhibition: • Exhibition | "Objectif...

This series is what made me follow you. I love the fact that the models exist in the world of their spaces. They fade in and out of "peopleness" but (unlike your camouflage pieces) they never disappear into the background. I would love to see you explore this (or similar) more in the future!

Thanks for that feedback. I really do love this series too and my other human sculptures. :) It’s fun to have some variety. I agree showing of the form and molding it thru performance art is fun
Loved this! Thank-you. And I'm sure I'll watch again.

Possibly the most ridiculous crap I've ever seen. I LOVED it and look forward to more. The ladies are lovely, and I love the indulgent colors and evocative sets. Really nice work. It doesn't mean anything, but I imagine it was a lot of fun to do. Or maybe it does mean something and I'm not imaginative enough to figger out what it is. Regardless, it held me riveted.
Amazing!!!

Инсталляция - это когда ты приходишь домой, а возле твоей двери кот накакал. Перфоманс - это когда ты приходишь пораньше и видишь как кот какает возле твоей двери. А вот если ты видишь как возле твоей двери какают три кота - это Флешмоб.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 An installation is when you come home and there's a bunch of cat shit near your door. A performance is when you come in early and see a cat pooping near your door. But if you see three cats pooping near your door, it's a Flash Mob.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

А раньше нужно было долго учиться, что бы тебя назвали художником. Сейчас можно голых девок краской облить, и ты уже художник. Хорошо хоть девок.....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 And before, you had to study for a long time to be called an artist. Now you can pour paint on naked girls, and you're already an artist. Well, at least the girls.....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Are you familiar with performance art which has been around since the 1950s or bodypainting which is our oldest art form and predates cave paintings? I encourage a bit of art history education to dive deeper into this art forms you may be misunderstanding. I’ve been doing this 19 years and yes have studied quite a bit. These are gallery & museum performances & I paint all genders.

@@TrinaMerry Как вы понимаете слово "Искусство"? В моем понимании у этого термина есть три основополагающих признака: 1. Это не материальная ценность (искусство нельзя кушать) 2. Произведения искусства нравятся многим 3. Даже скопировать произведение искусства могут немногие Первому признаку многие творения современного искусства частично удовлетворяют (не знаю, насколько это ценность). Второй признак. Кажется есть люди которым нравится "Черный квадрат" Малевича (хотя может быть это просто модно) А вот третьему признаку, большинство произведений не удовлетворяют совсем. Согласись измазать женщину краской и сказать "Я так вижу" сможет любой маляр, а повторить росписи Микеланджело или создать музыку Чайковского, спеть как Повороти, станцевать как Уланова могут единицы. Потому 99% творений, современного искусства - искусством не являются. How do you understand the word "Art"? In my understanding, this term has three fundamental signs: 1. It is not a material value (art cannot be eaten) 2. Many people like works of art 3. Few people can even copy a work of art Many works of modern art partially satisfy the first feature (I don't know how valuable it is). The second sign. It seems there are people who like Malevich's "Black Square" (although maybe it's just fashionable) , But the third feature, most of the works do not satisfy at all. Agree to smear a woman with paint and say "I see it that way" any painter can, and only a few can repeat Michelangelo's paintings or create Tchaikovsky's music, sing like a Turn, dance like Ulanova. Therefore, 99% of the creations of modern art are not art.

There’s is no sex in this performance. But if that’s your thing, check out Yayoi Kusamas work in NYC in the 1960s.
😆.....and you were accused of "objectifying women" by a conservative? Are you sure? Because I happen to know quite a few politically conservative people.. and ? Female sex symbols are not a problem. I know of 4 politically conservative active female adult film stars. A lot of conservatives have no objection whatsoever towards sex.. Where we draw the line is when a doctor starts tearing the arms, legs, and heads off the torsos of fully formed Premature babies. I'll go one further and say- A lot of conservatives aren't entirely against abortion in cases such as incest, rape, et cetera. There are radicals in every group.. Here is what I have a problem with- An adult woman [under ~35 years of age] is almost universally turned down when requesting a tubal ligation procedure (based on the slightest possibility that they may EVENTUALLY regret it), but then a 14 year old girl [who says that she feels she identifies as a male] can receive "Gender affirming care" on demand.. her breasts cut off and also prescribed testosterone and puberty blockers *Drugs which not only render a female irreversibly sterile but are known to cause cancer and lasting, often permanent, adverse side effects. I think that if a woman does not want children then she should be able to receive care to Permanently Prevent Pregnancies.. but I am never going to agree with late-term abortions. ..or even senseless abortions.. *there are people out there killing off their own children just because they don't think that they are ready? That said- I have absolutely no problem with women being objectified. Show me all the skin you want. I'm still voting Trump 2024. Lets Go Brandon!

People were vocal about missing this series so I had my awesome editor cut something special for them ;) The OG videos were raw and uncut performances so it was fun to repurpose them. This Sunday- there’s a cool museum performance we’ll be releasing. ;) Honestly testing to see if this specific channel is dead/should die or not.

The worshipping of Satan and the creation of art are two very different actions. In this performance it is neither spiritual nor is Satan being worshipped. It’s actually a commentary on capitalism. Performance art may be a lesser known medium to some and I encourage you to explore an art history course & read the artist statement for a better understanding of this gallery performance. Cheers!

Part of the message of this medium is that all bodies are beautiful- with unique souls- and we all need to find acceptance and love for our own bodies and others. Body images issues take time to work though and much needs to be unlearned but I wish you peace and love on your personal journey.
