Performance has become a popular genre of contemporary art. Performance is an art form in which a work of art consists only of the actions of actors at a specific time and place.
The performance first appeared in 1952. The founder of this art movement is John Milton Cage, who performed “4 minutes and 33 seconds of silence” on stage.
Action outside of time and space
This form of performance appeared as a result of street performances by futurists, the Bauhaus theater and the Dadaist clownery. The essence of the performance is to overcome the space of the picture.
As a result of the work of many artists such as Chris Bourdin, Joseph Beuys and many others in the 60s. of the last century, performance has become a new direction in the world of art and creativity. However, it did not last long in the West, and by the end of the 1980s, the development of conceptual action had completely ceased to exist.
Currently, adherents of this style are American historian Stephen Cohen, Serbian performance artist Marina Abramovich and some Russian performances such as Oleg Kulik, Elena Kovylina and many others.
