行为艺术,是20世纪五、六十年代兴起于欧洲的现代艺术形态之一。它是指艺术家把现实本身作为艺术创造的媒介,并以一定的时间延续。行为艺术更鲜明地表达观点态度,让人感受到视觉冲击,同时也引发人深层思考。
Performance art is a performance presented to an audience,traditionally interdisciplinary.Performance may be scripted or unscripted,random or carefully orchestrated;spontaneous or otherwise carefully planned with or without audience participation.
行为艺术是一门面向观众展示的表演艺术,通常是多学科性质的。这种表演可以有剧本也可以没有,可以即兴发挥也可以精心编排,可以自主表演也可以详细策划有无观众的参与。
Performance art is a term usually referring to a conceptual art which conveys a content-based meaning in a more drama-related sense,rather than being simple performance for its own sake for entertainment purposes.Performance art can happen anywhere,in any venue or setting and for any length of time.The actions of an individual or a group at a particular place and in a particular time constitute the work.
行为艺术通常属于一种概念艺术,它通过剧情场景来传达某种寓意,而不是为了娱乐目的。行为艺术可在任何地方、任何场所、任何时间里出现。特定时间和特定场合下的个人或团体的特定动作可构成这种艺术。
The performance can be live or via media.It can be any situation that involves four basic elements:time,space,the performer's body,or presence in a medium,and a relationship between performer and audience.
这种艺术可以现场表演也可以通过媒体来转播。无论在任何场景下,这种表演艺术都包含四种基本要素:时间、空间、表演者,以及表演者和观众的互动关系。
