What is the difference between performance art and performance? What is the difference between video art and TV and movies?

Performance Art, which is commonly used abroad at present, is a kind of communication between people, things and the environment through the experience of the artist's own body in the process of performance based on the artist's own body, and at the same time, some non-visual aesthetic connotations are conveyed through this communication.

performance art refers to an art composed of individual or group behaviors at a specific time and place. Performance art must include the following four basic elements, and is not subject to any other restrictions: time, place, the body of the performance artist, and communication with the audience. This art is different from painting, sculpture and other arts that are only composed of a single thing.

Although theoretically, performance art can include some relatively mainstream activities, such as acrobatics such as juggling, fire breathing, gymnastics, drama, dance, music, etc., these are generally classified as performing arts. Performance art usually refers to only one of avant-garde or conceptual art in the visual arts.

an artistic form of artistic creation based on specific environment and meaning. Compared with easel painting, traditional sculpture and other arts, performance art emphasizes and pays attention to the meaning of the artist's behavior process, which is a typical process art form with performance characteristics. As action art, most people firmly believe that the artist's personal artistic creation is free.

secondly, the generalization of art. Action art showed his unique artistic creation behavior process, and put the traditional art from the unattainable sacred palace with the height of elite culture

to the "so much" and "plain" state in the eyes of ordinary audiences. Especially in some works, the general audience is invited to participate, which further dispels the psychological distance between the artist and the audience. It strengthens the viewer's sense of identity with artistic creation, and at the same time, performance art emphasizes the process of behavior, which objectively expands the single vision of art focusing on the result of behavior to the field of fully understanding and paying attention to the process of artistic behavior. Therefore, it is helpful for people to fully understand the overall behavior of human art, which is in line with artistic regularity and purpose. Finally, performance art has the profound characteristics of ordinary art. That is to say, performance art is action art's "meaningful" behavior process display art. When we talk about performance art, we break the traditional boundaries between "art and non-art" and "art and life". action art once invited the audience to participate in his specific works to create works of art together.

From the future to the present, the expression of performance art has always been that dissidents try to find other ways to evaluate their experiences in daily life. Performance art can directly attract the public's attention and make them feel shocked, thus re-evaluating their ideas about art and the relationship between art and culture. On the contrary, the public's interest in the media, especially in the 198s, stems from their obvious desire to participate in the art world, become an audience of its ceremonies and unique groups, and feel the surprise brought by the unexpected and unconventional performances created by artists. Performance art performances can be individual or collective, accompanied by lighting, music or visual effects created by performance art performers themselves or in cooperation. Performance venues vary from art galleries or museums to "relative spaces", such as theaters, cafes, bars or street corners. Different from drama, performance art performers are actually artists, and rarely resemble the roles played by actors. And their performances hardly follow any traditional plots and narratives. Performance art performance can be a series of intimate gestures, or a large-scale visual scene, with a length ranging from a few minutes to several hours. It can be a one-time performance or a performance repeated many times. The script can be dispensable, improvised or rehearsed for months.

The development history of performance art in the 2th century is a free, open and endless environment completed by artists. Artists are impatient with traditional art forms, and they are determined to show their works directly to the public. It is for this reason that the starting point of performance art is that there are no rules to follow. According to this feature, there is no more accurate definition of performance art except the simple explanation of "art performed by artists on the spot". Any stricter definition will only directly deny the changeable characteristics of performance art itself. Performance art is free to choose materials in various disciplines and media-literature, poetry, drama, music, dance, architecture, painting, television, movies, slides and narrative texts-and rearrange them in any order. In fact, no art form can have such unlimited expression as performance art. Every action art has his own definition of performance art in his own creative process and way.
