Body Issues in Performance Art: Between Theory and Praxis

1. Statement Elements
-performance art is culture bound; it always relates to a particular context, situation or circumstance
-meanings give action a sense: lacking in meaning means the loss of impact
-the performer sees action itself (and the need to act) as a barrier
-a performance is life itself: primarily real; stimulating memory activation, sentiments, instinctual feelings and the most intimate beliefs of who is participating
-the being exists essentially for the interaction of three fundamental factors: the biological sphere, the socio-ecological one, and the inter-psychic one
-gesem= is the body-body
-gesed= is the mind-body
-beden= is the psyche-body
-equilibrium and balanced strength between 3 bodies
-when all three bodies find a common ground to flow together, they can give birth to an experience both individual and collective at the same time
2.  Performance Art: A Social Role Between Ethics and Aesthetics
-performance art is becoming progressively oriented toward networking globalization and innovation of communication
-art actions become expressions of language that has made understatement its credo
3.  The Laws of Communication: Space, Truth and Body in Action
-the same notion of space and truth move throughout different level and degrees, intermingling continuously between the real and the virtual
-space is an original that provokes some sort of fear
-truth is a combination, a gathering and convergence of occasions and situations
4. What is the Body
-action artist mud recognize themselves as a tool of his/her own work
-performance art has to do with the human form, study of gesture posture and sound of silence, and progressed into different studies of body investigation
-the performer is a poet and an artist at the same time
-for a performance artist it is necessary to get completely involved, directly and personally
