NOTES: Body Issues in Performance Art: Between Theory and Praxis
- related to a particular context
- only meanings give action a sense, without it the image or the action becomes nothing, "an empty joke"
- performer and spectator are interdependent or each other
- human being exists for three interactions:
- 1. the biological sphere
- 2. the social-ecological
- 3. the inter-psychic
- action= urge
- body-body, mind-body, psyche-body
- these three subtypes are activated when the performer is in action
- scales go further then material into inter-connective messages and impulses= more pure way to communicate
- an art action interferes with the limits of human abilities= meaning human ability may hold action back?
- todays work preformes much more with the need for instruments and a new way of thinking about there work, possibly to go beyond the images they are construing, going beyond the boundaries of action and human body, pushing for thought
- art performance connected to technology connected to globalization = communication
- Truth= a delicate encounter connected much more to the atmosphere and the environment then to the presence (gathering of occasions and situations)
- Body?
- "what i want to do and what someone wants of/ about me"
- own body
- can performance art work without the body?
- aesthetic control and a manipulation of space that can drive both the performer and the participant
- new technologies and medicine= translates to mutation
- action art = a study of the capacity of the human body and its capabilities
- "art manifests the invisible in the visible"
- ethics:
- values
- outcomes
- capabilities
- spirit/psyche
- action/representation
- reaction to ego, to work on inner self? (super ego or id?)
- performer is an artist and a poet of action
- as a performer you must "do"
- humans are not machines but must be translate through body image
- technology incorporates more and different versions of metaphor
- Aristotle: two different forms
- direct action
- moral action
- perfomance artists must have style
- style belongs to the individual and to the entire society
