Performance-lecture
A performance lecture or lecture-performance is a genre of presenting ideas live, that blends aspects of teaching and performance art. Performance lectures draw attention to the form of knowledge presentation, the situational elements of teaching, and the dynamics of lecturer and audience interaction. The genealogy of the lecture-performance is a topic of active discussion, with various critics offering multiple ways to trace the precursors of the format. There is a long history of performances in the fine arts that experiment with form to call attention to education, and educational contexts, how teaching itself is a live performance, art education and institutional structures, and pedagogy as a mode of production and social gathering. Performance lectures also appear in other performing arts and literary contexts, such as theatre. Some artists that have worked in this genre include: Andrea Fraser, Chris Burden, Yvonne Rainer, Coco Fusco, Robin Deacon, Devin Kenny, Hito Steyerl ...

Performance Art
Performance art is an artwork or art exhibition created through actions executed by the artist or other participants. It may be witnessed live or through documentation, spontaneously developed or written, and is traditionally presented to a public in a fine art context in an interdisciplinary mode. Also known as artistic action, it has been developed through the years as a genre of its own in which art is presented live. It had an important and fundamental role in 20th century avant-garde art. It involves five basic elements: time, space, body, presence of the artist, and the relation between the artist and the public. The actions, generally developed in art galleries and museums, can take place in any kind of setting or space, and during any time period. Its goal is to generate a reaction, sometimes with the support of improvisation and a sense of aesthetics. The themes are commonly linked to life experiences of the artist themselves, the need for denunciation or social critic ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Fine Arts
In European academic traditions, fine art (or, fine arts) is made primarily for aesthetics or creativity, creative expression, distinguishing it from popular art, decorative art or applied art, which also either serve some practical function (such as pottery or most metalwork) or is generally of limited artistic quality in order to appeal to the masses. In the aesthetic theories developed in the Italian Renaissance, the highest art was that which allowed the full expression and display of the artist's imagination, unrestricted by any of the practical considerations involved in, say, making and decorating a teapot. It was also considered important that making the artwork did not involve dividing the work between different individuals with specialized skills, as might be necessary with a piece of furniture, for example. Even within the fine arts, there was a hierarchy of genres based on the amount of creative imagination required, with history painting placed higher than still l ...
