Participatory Art
Participatory Art involves the audience directly in the creative process. An example is Santiago Sierra's work, where he invites participation in exchange for compensation.
Mixed Media Performance
Mixed Media Performance combines various art forms like video, text, art, and performance. Laurie Anderson's 'United States Live' incorporates all these elements.
Live Art
Live Art is a contemporary practice that transcends traditional boundaries of art and often involves performance. 'Lick and Lather' by Janine Antoni is an illustrative work.
Relational Aesthetics
Relational Aesthetics is a theory and practice focusing on human relations and their social contexts as art. Rirkrit Tiravanija is known for his work where he cooks and serves food to visitors.
Installation Art
Installation Art involves creating an environment within a space that the audience can interact with. 'The Weather Project' by Olafur Eliasson provides an immersive experience of an artificial sun.
Autobiographical Performance
Autobiographical Performance is a form where artists use their life stories as the basis for their work. 'The History of Sexuality Volume One' by Robert Mapplethorpe is an example.
Happenings
Happenings are an event-based art form where performance, art, and life intersect. An example is Allan Kaprow's '18 Happenings in 6 Parts' which bridged the gap between life and art.
Body Art
Body Art is a genre where artists use their own bodies as a medium. For example, Marina Abramović's performance 'Rhythm 0' where she invited the audience to use objects on her.
Durational Performance
Durational Performance are long-form performances that test the endurance of the performer and audience. An example is Tehching Hsieh's 'One Year Performance 1980–1981'.
Fluxus
Fluxus is an interdisciplinary art movement characterized by a blending of different artistic disciplines and media. 'Fluxus 1' by George Maciunas exemplifies this principle.
Avant-garde Theatre
Avant-garde Theatre challenges traditional norms and is often experimental. Jerzy Grotowski's 'Poor Theatre' abandoned elaborate sets and costumes to focus on the actor's emotions.
Performance Art
Performance Art is a live, action-based art form that prioritizes the artist's actions as the artwork. Yoko Ono's 'Cut Piece' is a seminal work in this discipline.
Site-Specific Performance
Site-Specific Performance is created to be performed in a particular location. 'Storming' by Colectivo AM is a key example, where dancers interact with urban spaces.
Immersive Theatre
Immersive Theatre is a form of performance that involves the audience in the action, often in unusual or specially designed environments. 'Sleep No More' by Punchdrunk is an iconic production.
