“Seedbed” is a performance artwork created by the artist Vito Acconci in 1972, belonging to the Conceptual Art movement.
The artwork comprises a series of black and white photographs that document the performance taking place within an empty gallery space. The space features an elevated wooden ramp with a sparse and minimal design, emphasizing the performative aspect of the piece. In the images, an individual is seen interacting with the space, suggestive of Acconci’s engagement with the physical environment. The performance aspect of the artwork captures the essence of Conceptual Art, focusing on the idea and process rather than the final visual product.
