On the line for what? This had to do with Chris and art-making, not
Vietnam. It wasn't protest; it was relatively decontextualized body-art.

Yes, Alan, but then there is Chris Burden's Shoot, 1971. Few put their

There's also the other Goffman book, Stigma, which is relevant
and excellent.
I remember one oddity during the Vietnam war - there was an
oddly apolitical stance, I think, among performance artists in
the US; one could watch an Acconci piece, for example, and read
political action into it, but it wasn't overt; what I remember
in conversation with him was mostly discussions about art which
was emerging out of modernism, but was still bound by a rather
linear idea of success, style, and progress.
