Scope note
A genre of artmaking practice that exhibits any of various performative or theatrical aspects, with or without the artist's physical presence. Generally considered to be temporal, works within this genre may also be object-oriented, but incorporate a sense of time, situation, process, bodily presence, or theatricality, and that break down barriers between the plastic arts and traditional forms of theater or spectacle.
