IntroductionThis new form of contemporary art - which emerged out of Happenings and Conceptual art to become a major form of avant-garde art during the late 1960s and 1970s - takes as its medium the artist himself: the actual artwork being the artist's live actions. Now popular with an increasing number of postmodernist artists, Performance art is typically intensely theatrical, often taking acting and movement to extremes of expression and endurance not permitted in the theatre. Words are rarely prominent, while music and noises of various kinds often are. Performance events are hosted in several of the best galleries of contemporary art in the world, as well as traditional centres such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art. One of the most famous exponents of contemporary performance art is the Serbian Marina Abramovic (b.1946).
