Performance may be either scripted or unscripted, random or carefully orchestrated; spontaneous or otherwise carefully planned with or without audience participation. The performance can be live or via media; the performer can be present or absent. It can be any situation that involves four basic elements: time, space, the performer's body, or presence in a medium, and a relationship between performer and audience.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
Performance art has its roots in the early 20th century with the [[Futurism|Futurist]] and [[Dada]] movements. These early forms of performance art were often radical and experimental, challenging traditional notions of art and performance. The [[Fluxus]] movement of the 1960s further developed the concept, emphasizing the process of creation over the finished product.<br />
<br />
== Characteristics ==<br />
Performance art is characterized by its emphasis on the live aspect of the performance, the use of the artist's body as a medium, and the interaction with the audience. Unlike traditional theater, performance art often lacks a clear narrative or script, focusing instead on the experience and the moment.<br />
<br />
== Notable Performance Artists ==<br />
* [[Marina Abramović]] - Known for her endurance-based performances.<br />
* [[Yoko Ono]] - A key figure in the Fluxus movement.<br />
* [[Chris Burden]] - Famous for his extreme and often dangerous performances.<br />
* [[Joseph Beuys]] - Integrated performance into his broader artistic practice.<br />
<br />
== Related Concepts ==<br />
* [[Happening]] - A performance, event, or situation meant to be considered art, usually as performance art.<br />
* [[Body art]] - Art in which the body, often that of the artist, is the principal medium.<br />
* [[Conceptual art]] - Art in which the idea presented by the artist is considered more important than the finished product.<br />
<br />
== Contemporary Performance Art ==<br />
In contemporary art, performance art continues to evolve, incorporating new media and technology. Artists use video, digital media, and the internet to create performances that can reach a global audience. The boundaries between performance art and other forms of art continue to blur, leading to new and innovative practices.<br />
