行为艺术是用于传递不同地域各种想法的理想媒介。它以视觉为主,因此无需翻译;又由于它是转瞬即逝的,因此在很多将艺术家活动视为具有政治颠覆性的国家里,艺术家们为了规避政府的监管,行为艺术表演常常就成为他们展示作品的完美媒介;它很前沿,因为它经常使用技术来创作声音和图像,可以记录与放映;并且在使用身体方面,用姿势和运动这种通用的隐喻语言,不管是裸体还是穿着衣服,肢体语言则是永恒和易懂的。此外,伴随其可延长的时间框架,有时可持续数小时,甚至是数天。就不同国家历史、仪式以及个人情感和精神状态而言,行为艺术表演是一种手段,它可以对图像信息进行复杂分层。因此,不管是来自俄罗斯、印度的行为艺术,还是来自巴西的行为艺术,它可能是激进或强烈的,但当它们被运到纽约、柏林、巴黎或伦敦的文化中心时,就可以瞬间激起艺术家们的受关注度。从批评的维度来讲,这些作品拒绝与西方传统的绘画和雕塑放在一起相提并论,而当涉及到行为艺术的意义和来源时,则意味着接续下来的新艺术环境的蓬勃发展。 Performance art is the ideal medium for delivering ideas in different regions. It is visually oriented and therefore does not require translation; and because it is fleeting, artists are often acting as performers in order to circumvent government regulation in many countries that view artist activity as politically disruptive The perfect medium to present your work; it’s cutting-edge because it uses technology to create sounds and images that are often recorded and shown; and in the use of the body, gestures and movements are the generic metaphorical language of either nudity or dress, Body language is eternal and understandable. In addition, with its extendable time frame, it can sometimes last for hours or even days. For different national histories, rituals, as well as personal emotions and mental states, performing arts performances are a means of delaminating the complexities of imagery. Therefore, whether it is performance art from Russia or India or from the Brazilian performing arts, it may be radical or intense, but it can be instantly aroused when it is transported to the cultural centers of New York, Berlin, Paris or London Artist’s attention. In terms of criticism, these works refuse to compare with the traditional western paintings and sculptures. When it comes to the meaning and origin of performance art, it means the continued flourishing development of the art nouveau environment.
