Topic: Performance artist


  
 Performance art - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Performance art is a term usually reserved to refer to a kind of usually avant-garde or conceptual art which grew out of the visual arts.
Performance art, as the term is usually understood, began to be identified in the 1960s with the work of artists such as Allan Kaprow, who coined the term happenings, Vito Acconci, Hermann Nitsch and Joseph Beuys.
Performance art is art where the actions of an individual or a group at a particular place and in a particular time, constitute the work.

Linda M. Montano is a performance artist and the founder of The Art/Life Institute in Kingston, New York.

 Performance Art artists and art...the-artists.org
Body art, performance, "Aktionism", Happenings: these are all names for the many late 20th century art forms that have used the artist's own body as the subject and object of the artwork itself.
In the post-war period, however, artists began using their bodies as the subject and the actual material of the artwork itself, through such art forms as Body art, Happenings and performance.
In these international art forms the artists body is used to represent both the state of contemporary art and the human condition in general.

 "High Performance"
High Performance had no point of view except reportage of news "and the rebirth of wonder." Burnham was democratic, operating on an open submission policy, publishing any artist who could provide that documentation in black and white, dates, and a description of the performance printed in a single- or double-page spread.
This occurred at the inception of performance art as a movement, featuring 15 to 80 artists per issue, and providing a breadth and depth of materials previously unseen.
Publisher, founder and editor Linda Frye Burnham began the magazine by asking for material directly from the artists on the premise that for too long art was mediated by a curator or an art critic.
