Understanding Performance Art
So, what is actually meant by Performance Art?
Artwork made through actions taken by artists or other participants, who may be aired or recorded, spontaneously or written.
Explanation of Performance Art
While the term ‘performance’ and ‘performing arts’ only became widely used in the 1970s, the history of performance in visual arts was often traced back to futurist production and chest cabgets in the 1910s.
Throughout the twentieth century, performances are often seen as non-traditional ways to make art. Life, physical movements, and irregularities offer alternative artists for the eternity of static paintings and sculptures.
In the post-war period, performance is in harmony with conceptual art, because of its often not material nature.
Now the part received from the world of visual arts, this term has been used to also describe the art of film, video, photography, and based on installation through the actions of artists, players, or spectators.
Recently, performance has been understood as a way to be directly involved with social reality, specific space and identity politics. In 2016, the theorist Jonah Westerman commented ‘Appearance is not (and never) as a medium, not something that can be done by art but a set of questions and concerns about how art is related to people and a broader social world’.
Moreover, as we have seen above, this term is one of a collection of dictionaries, acronyms, terms, jargon, or terminology in the field of arts that begins with an alphabet or prefix P, as well as terms associated with P.
