Oliver de Sagazan is at it again with some amazing, weird, and even scary performance art. Hard to explain. You really have to see it to understand it. I think it's brilliant, but I am also weird.

I wasn't aware that performance art needed a purpose anymore. Correct me if I am wrong.Originally Posted by pbkid
In my opinion, it displays the image of man in his never-ending conquest to maintain an "appealing" visual identity through whatever means/medium available.
The artist in me tells me that.
But the Tyler Durden in me tells me it's just a crazy man playing in the mud, heh.

That was pretty cool. Looks to me like a good way to do low budget horror movie getups:bgwg:. Bart, are you watching this?
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on me.

For some reason that reminds me of a British show I like called “Spaced”. There’s a caricature that play an artist like that.

He has some really good, really cool dark art, and performances, but that was over the top.
And I'm certain that he has some serious mental disabilities.

Oh Pleeze, apparently performance art is directed towards the enlightened folk in this world and not the "common" man.
The most frequently asked question about Performance Art has got to be What is it? And that, admittedly, is a tough question to answer. Generally, Performance Art is a category that many artists find themselves in if they are unhappy with the idea of working in only one traditional medium. Performance Artists are often interested in exploring several artistic disciplines and producing work that may cross traditional media boundaries such as works that include aspects of theater, music and the visual arts including video. Many performance artists are also interested in crossing the perceived boundary between art and life such as thinking of everyday activities in an artistic manner.
The history of Performance Art is just as hard to pin down as the definition. If you are interested in its history, a good book to start with would be Roselee Goldberg's Performance Art: From Futurism to the Present. It provides a good overview of the relationship between Performance and European Art in the 20 Century. However, it is a bit limited if you are interested in interdisciplinary work that was made earlier in history or work that was made in non-western cultures.

And on a final note...I'll now admit that my computer at work doesn't allow access to U-tube so I haven't seen the video yet and in fact consider myself a "common" man...(j/k....wanted to bust some balls!)
