Performance Art pages 1-18

I had to read the first 18 pages. The introduction discusses performance as an artistic expression in the 1970s. At the time conceptual art was the popular art form. The first chapter is about futurism performance. Which is more manifesto than practice. More propaganda than actual production. Te chapter addresses the first futurist evening. Discussing futurist ideas for the first time. This took place in Italy. Futurist painters become performers. They were gathered together to start a futurist performance and discussion. There are also instructions on how to perform in my section of the reading. A more elaborate version of earlier Evenings. The performance led to another manifesto.
