Not on view

In 1974, Burden, a performance artist from California, compiled a notebook of photographs documenting his work. Of his performance "Prelude to 220, or 110" Burden wrote: "I was strapped to the floor with copper bands bolted into the concrete. Two buckets of water with live 110 lines submerged in them were placed near me. The piece was performed from 8-10 p.m. for three nights."
