it's always hard to find intended meaning in excerpts from performance art. does art have to be experts doing non-weird things in your opinion?

nice post btw!

To be honest, I mostly just don't get extreme performace art, like in the clip. I can listen to "extreme" (as in non-mainstream) music and watch "extreme" movies (like, let's say Irreversible) and plays, but unless there is some dialogue... I'm sorry but, I don't get it. Some performance art is cool and I get what they're trying to say, but these extreme cases, no, I just don't. Like the guy in the mummy outfit screaming. I bet that's all there is in the performance... or a midget starts runnig half naked, also in a mummy costume (from top to half), or something like that... I mean, they're predictable if you ask me. The point is to shock, nothing else IMO. I don't think there is a point. The artist wants us to think there is one, so we wreck our brains "what was the artist trying to say ๐Ÿค”", while in reality, he just did some extreme shit, left the audience ๐Ÿ˜ฑ and them thinking "wow, he's so artistic, he's really good, the message was so strong" but when you ask those same people what the message was, they start studdering ๐Ÿ˜’. It's all shenanagins, the artist stays all the wisers by not clearly stating what the message he was trying to say was (because there is none), the audience pretends like they understood what he was trying to say, but in fact didn't understand shit cuz... well, there is nothing to understand.

how can you know these things when you only know a couple of seconds? that's like saying you know a movie from having seen some short sequences of action scenes.

art isn't how it looks but rather how it makes you feel, no? framing art (like in this video) robs the original art of their intention and creates a new perception on it.

kinda like saying rock music is bad because you heard of ozzy munching a bat or seeing marilyn manson harm himself on stage

I have seen other performance artists, the clip is not the first time I encounter performance art.

It makes me feel like I'm stupid for not getting what the artist was trying to say. There is nothing to get. I bet if you ask the artists to explain it, he will, but it'll either make no sense, or he'll say that he saw it in a dream or something like that.

Ozzy does stupid things because he's Ozzy. Manson is a performance artist as well. That doesn't mean his music is bad, but I would never go to a Manson concert. The Resident Evil acore was pretty good actually.

Well, there is bad art, of course. Or maybe you're just not into it (that much).

I am into art, just not performance art, and especially not performance art that is just done for the sake of art progressing, or whatever the reason of the artist might be to do some stupid unrelated things and call that art.
