Discussion question
In this week’s lecture and resources, we cover Performance Art. Performance art is one of the most surprising forms of art – it can be visceral, sexual, uncomfortable, politically engaging, & involve almost anything! This art form is still alive and vibrant today but has strong roots to the period of Conceptual Art.
For your Discussion Board post complete the following:
Performance artists consider their actions, the selection of the location/environment where the performance takes place, potential audience engagement & reaction, the meaning of the materials they use & their relationship to art history when they plan ‘happenings’.
- Select one performance art piece from this week’s resources to write about.
- Include an image of the work, with the artist’s name(s), year and any other relevant information (site, materials, duration, etc).
- In a short response, 250 words or less, describe what the performance piece is about. Reflect on the meaning of the artist’s choices in terms of: action, location, audience, materials, and art history relationship.
