It is art because the artist says it is art. It is experimental.• Performance Art is not for sale. It may, however, sell admission tickets and film rights.• Performance Art may be comprised of painting or sculpture (or both), dialogue, poetry, music, dance, opera, film footage, turned on television sets, laser lights, live animals and fire. Or all of the above. There are as many variables as there are artists.• Performance Art is a legitimate artistic movement. It has longevity (some performance artists, in fact, have rather large bodies of work) and is a degreed course of study in many post-secondary institutions.• Dada, Futurism, the Bauhaus and the Black Mountain College all inspired and helped pave the way for Performance Art.• Performance Art is closely related to Conceptual Art. Both Fluxus and Body Art are types of Performance Art.• Performance Art may be entertaining, amusing, shocking or horrifying. No matter which adjective applies, it is meant to be memorable."*From Art History 101 http://arthistory.about.com/cs/arthistory10one/a/performance .htm
