Vanessa Beecroft was born in Genova, Italy in 1969. She is a contemporary artist living in Los Angeles. She began studying painting and architecture there in 1983, and stage design in Milan in 1988. Her work is neither performance nor documentary, but something in between. Her live events are recorded through photography and film, but her conceptual approach is actually closer to painting. Beecroft sets up a structure for the participants in her live events to create their own composition, presenting themselves according to their own internalized aesthetic system.
VB42 Intrepid was Vanessa Beecroft's forty-second live event. Her work has been exhibited at international venues including the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney (1999), Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego (1999), Spiral Wacoal Art Center, Tokyo (1999), Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York (1998), Moderna Museet, Stockholm (1998), Venice Biennale (1997), and the Institute of Contemporary Art, London (1997).
