OR SHOULD WE CALL IT ENTERTAINMENT ART?

Performance art got a lot of attention in the ’90s. What’s it up to now? “People seem more interested in packaging it than in actually doing it. Let’s just say that if performance grew out of a wish to make art more present, more visceral in the ’60s and ’70s, that trend has decidedly reversed itself. Over the past decade, this art form definitely shifted toward entertainment—or, at least, the proscenium.” – Village Voice
