Object · Body · Event

Performance art is a new type of avant-garde art.It does not stick to the traditional art concept,relies on body and object,creates events with unique contingency and process,and is eager to intervene in public life,and boldly carry out art experiment and innovation for the public.However,in the avant-garde and extreme disputes,the public will inevitably have a bad impression on the performance art: confusing the boundaries of beauty and ugliness,violent impact on the spirit and senses,trampling on social order and good customs,violating the law of human relations and so on.Although the path of avant-garde art is full of twists and turns,the intention of behavior art to surpass the traditional mainstream in the past and violate certain conventions and taboos has never changed,which highlights the destructive power and anti aesthetic spirit of avant-garde art.If you want to see the performance art more objectively and comprehensively in the chaotic art phenomenon,you can find the breakthrough point of solving the puzzle from the three elements of highlighting the new aesthetic meaning--object,body and event.Making events with objects and bodies is not only the concrete expression of "anti aesthetics" of performance art,but also a kind of avant-garde expression of performance art.First of all,behavioral artists are good at constructing the space of objects,which can accommodate natural objects,ready-made products and even foreign objects.As the object carries the perceptual experience of the artist's subject,powerful discourse power and concept expression,the object can get rid of the natural or daily state,enter the endless sense of theater,and finally peel off the art form with the end of the performance art process,and return to the nature or the daily society.The favor of performance art for objects stems from the enhancement of the sense of objects in contemporary society.The abnormal use of some objects corresponds to the more radical social criticism of artists.Secondly,in the space of objects,the body of the artist is established.The body can not only obtain the direct giving of internal transcendental experience,but also realize the interaction and empathy between the body subject and the space of objects,the body of the artist and the viewer.In terms of recording and communication,performance art cannot do without the development of modern science and technology,but the reality of body in performance art is also adversely affected by modern surreal technology.At the same time,the performance art also needs to be alert to the radical use of the body in violence and instinctive desire,to avoid falling into the limit of fierce fighting and irrational desire flooding.Finally,whether it is the establishment of object space or the stretching of body subject,they are all in the event of performance art creation.There are three characteristics of performance art events: one is that the event represents a kind of specificity,change and turning point,which is the meaning itself based on the mode of doubt,causing the art world to question its own essence;the other is that it takes abnormality and grotesque as the way of coming,which causes the viewer's doubt and shock;the third is that it maintains the difference,pursues the behavior prototype and is related to the reality at the same time.The use of objects and bodies to create events in performance art is actually violating and supplementing art taboos,changing the original track of the development of art history.Events introduce a new world at the break of time,which calls people to enter and endows people with new ideas and ways of presentation.
