It’s live, it’s unpredictable, sometimes it’s downright messy. It’s also some of the boldest art you’ll ever see.
Performance art involves work made by artists who use their bodies, actions, and their living presence as primary material for their art. It works in the gap between art and life, connecting you to both. It’s constantly changing and reacting to the world around us.
