WHAT IS
PERFORMANCE ART?
ART
Throughout history, art has been defined
many ways. One modern definition of art
is the expression or application of human
creative skill and imagination… producing
works to be appreciated primarily for their
beauty or emotional power." ... As you can
see, art is defined by its genesis in the
human mind.
 The three classical branches of art are painting,
sculpture and architecture. Music, theatre, film, dance,
and other performing arts, as well as literature and other
media such as interactive media, are included in a
broader definition of the arts.
 Who created art? Greek and Etruscan artists built on the
artistic foundations of Egypt, further developing the arts
of sculpture, painting, architecture, and ceramics. Greek
art started as smaller and simpler than Egyptian art, and
the influence of Egyptian art on the Greeks started in the
Cycladic islands between 3300–3200 BCE.
The definition of art has generally fallen into
three categories: representation, expression,
and form. Art as Representation or
Mimesis. ... For this reason, the primary
meaning of art was, for centuries, defined as
the representation or replication of something
that is beautiful or meaningful.
PERFORMANCE ART
 Is a live art and the artist medium is mainly the human body which
he or she uses to perform, but also employs other kind of art such as
visual art, props, or sound. It usually consist of four important
elements, TIME, where the performance took place, the
PERFORMERS or performers body, and a relationship between the
AUDIENCE and the PERFORMERS.
 is a form of arts practice that involves a person or persons
undertaking an action or actions within a particular timeframe in a
particular space or location for an audience. Performance Art is the
live presence of the artist and the real actions of his/her body, to
create and present an ephemeral art experience to an audience.
The term "Performance Art" got its start in the
1960s in the United States. It was originally
used to describe any live artistic event that
included poets, musicians, filmmakers, etc. In
addition to visual artists.

Bharata is often known as the father of Indian
theatrical arts. His Natya Shastra seems to be
the first attempt to develop the technique or
rather art, of drama in a systematic manner.
 Performing arts are basically arts or skills that require a
performance in front of a public audience. Examples are
acting, singing and dancing. Other forms of the
Performing Arts include opera, theatre, magic or illusion
performances, mime, spoken word, recitation and public
speaking.
 Performance art covers a broad spectrum of artists and
styles, but performance artists in general share the ideal of
producing art which challenges traditional understandings
of theater, and which also seeks to challenge our
preconceived ideas about moral and political issues, as
well as how we view ourselves
What are the goals of performance art?
Much performance art seeks to
accomplish what Abramovic did in this
work, which is to involve the audience
directly in the performance with the
ultimate goal of enabling an insight of
some kind.
