Lisa Lyon: Icons of the Divine(1986)
In this show, Lisa speaks poetically about her "Female Spirit" and about her destiny; she exposes the audience to her “ritual and her agony”. As she explains, it is a reaction to the abstract art movement, which had removed the human form, and it was her attempt to return to a more classical vision of art today. In her work, she elevated the gymnasium up to the art gallery. Six other bodybuilder/artists perform routines for the audience.
