Performance Art

I thought the article was very interesting. I have never really considered the fact the performance art is the complete opposite of what most consider the "performing arts", like singing and dancing. It is interesting that a prominant characteristic of performance art is that it is in "real time", which ties it to this time based class. The author expressed extreme passion for this unique form of art, which i may never fully understand.I must admit it is true that when I think of performance art, I think of weird abstract things, like crazy naked people running into things. But, being a creative person myself, I think I can take the time to try and understand what is being portrayed and appreciate the artists' visions.
