We were introduced to preformance art on September 20th's lecture. I think this art form is something you either love or hate.
Dancing and music performances are very popular forms of performing arts. There are many popular television shows dedicated to these art forms. Dancing with the stars, So you Think You Can Dance, American Idol, America's Got Talent, ect. are all popular shows that make millions of dollars in performing arts. These shows are loved by millions who appreciate dance and music.
Other perfoming art such as the circus, street performers, spoken word, are less popular with mass media but still very popular and enjoyed by many.
Artist such as Marina Abramović popular within certain groups, but to the masses her work can be seen as bizzarre and unappealing. While I do not appreciate or care for the majority of her work, I do understand why she is popular among her fans and those who enjoy modern art performances. Her work is bold and controversial and definately gets her noticed.
