Title: "Performance art" is not a thing.
Post by: Apostrophe Spacemonkey on February 22, 2016, 09:28:33 am
I like many types of art.

But not performance art.

Performance art is not art.

Standing in a lift in not art.

Getting punched in the face in not art.


Shia LaBeouf is definitely not an artist.

The great thing about art is that if you say it's art, it is art. No one has to agree with you.

the same principal applies to music.

You can say it's "shit art" or "I don't like that art/music" but to ignorantly claim that it isn't art/music just because you deem it so is not a thing.

However, like most things, context is required.

Not at all.

Of course music is art.

Same goes for theatre as well.



I guess you could call performance art a type of theatre, but it's a stretch.

4′33″ (pronounced "Four minutes, thirty-three seconds" or just "Four thirty-three"[1]) is a three-movement composition[2][3] by American experimental composer John Cage (1912–1992). It was composed in 1952, for any instrument or combination of instruments, and the score instructs the performer(s) not to play their instrument(s) during the entire duration of the piece throughout the three movements. The piece purports to consist of the sounds of the environment that the listeners hear while it is performed,[4] although it is commonly perceived as "four minutes thirty-three seconds of silence".[5][6] The title of the piece refers to the total length in minutes and seconds of a given performance, 4′33″ being the total length of the first public performance.[7]

How a thread about performance art lacks any mention of Interior Semiotics escapes me.
