Question

An artist from this country blinded himself with perfectly reflective contact lenses in the 1970 performance To Turn One’s Eyes Inside Out. A movement based in this country included the installation Attic, in which 12 live horses were tied up in an art gallery, which was by the Greek-born artist Janis Kounellis. After an artist from this country filled up balloons with own breath, he filled up 90 gold cans with his own (*) excrement and sold it under the title (-5[1])Artist’s Shit. A movement that translates as “Poor Art” is from this country, (10[1])as is an artist who exhibited a work in Miami that, in 2019, was destroyed by performance artist David Datuna. That artist from this country made the installation Comedian, in which a banana was taped to a wall. For 10 points, name this country home to Maurizio Cattelan, Giuseppe (10[1])Penone, and (10[1])Piero Manzoni. ■END■
