Switzerland's Performance Network
27 3 The Body as a Medium: Switzerland’s Performance Network It is meanwhile perfectly natural to team up the word “per- formance” with sports, banks, cars, high-energy soft drinks and the stock market.The inflationary use of the term is un- questionably a function of a society that is out for ever great- er productivity and growth in every sector. The entertainment and events sector uses performativity as a communicative factor: DJ, disco and pop culture all in- corporate performative elements, and even classical live-art (dance, music, theatre) brings us “performances”.These few examples are enough to demonstrate that, when it comes to the term “performance”, confusion reigns. How problematic the definition of “performance art” is, and how very differ- ently it can be applied, continues to be substantiated by the difficulties encountered by applicants for and recipients of funds from grant-making bodies, which usually have no specific division devoted to performance art.What is it that you do? Do you dance? Make theatre? Recite texts? Make music? What exactly is performance art in the context of the visual arts. The essential starting point of performance art is the body – as a home to the soul, a means of conveying and ex- pressing identity,and a personal or social construct.This dir- ect confrontation with the essential nature of the human being has evolved over the last forty years in accordance with the social trends and influences of the day.It has always been inherent to performance art to break taboos and challenge established norms. Performance art as social sculpture The present-day understanding of performance art goes back to the early work of the Futurists, Dadaists and Situ- ationists.The appearances of the internationally ramified, in- terdisciplinary Fluxus group in the Fifties had an enduring effect on the political actions and happenings that took place in the United States and Europe in the Sixties and Seventies. -
E.Jappe版action Art in Germany and Neighbouring
Action Art in Germany and Neighbouring Countries Elisabeth JAPPE First of all I will give you an idea of the context and the conditions in which Action Art started to evolve in the Germanic countries, in Germany, Austria, Holland and Switzerland. The end of the forties and the beginning of the fifties were marked by the disaster of the Second World War. Germany and Austria were licking their wounds after losing the war. Holland had just lost its colonies in Indonesia. Everything was to be rebuilt and this required an incredible amount of physical and mental discipline. It was not a time for new experiences. This attitude resulted in an extremely conservative spirit, even in the spiritual world. Many things were forgotten: Futurism, Surrealism, Dada. While John CAGE was crossing the conventional borders between disciplines, creating a kind of living Gesamtkunstwerk, with a group of musicians, painters and choreographers at the Black Mountain College, Yves KLEIN exposed Le Vide (The Void) in France and claimed "to be able to fly". Artists in Germany - who for the most part had resisted the laws of Nazi aesthetics - were rediscovering abstraction and the free gesture in informal painting. It was only at the beginning of the sixties that things began to move on. Initially, there was a general feeling of malaise. Young people, and also artists, no longer wanted to accept the constraints of a society with only one idea in its head: its consolidation according to the economic laws of the market (taken to the extreme). At the same time, they rejected the concept of education extolled by preceding generations, particularly in Austria where the reactionary Church exerted a strong influence. -
