Chris Burden discusses his beginnings as an architecture student and his transition to performance art. He describes his work in chronological order, stressing the relationship each project has to architecture, including pieces such as Dreamy Nights (1974), White Light/White Heat (1974), and Wexner Castle (1990). Burden connects his interest in live performance to his interest in the performative aspect of architecture, and his more recent work dealing with buildings, bridges, and construction. Burden presents his Beam Drop Film. This is followed by a question and answer session with the audience.
