I am happy that you discovered my blog and hope to contribute to a discussion about performance art seen from the visual art point of view. Not all subjects are new and newest, as I am convinced that the past of Performance Art is still to complete. Also speaking and writing on performances means in most cases that you have to use past tense. An ephemeral work generally is over, when you begin to think about it, and exceptions like endurance-pieces as the “One-Year-Performances” by Tehching Hsieh for example are singular or rare.

In most of my contributions I shall use images, which were not published before. So please use them thoughtfully, which means using links instead of copying them, in case you like them.

I would like to thank Stefan Scholtz, who suggested trying this type of publishing and helped me handling operational difficulties.

Please enjoy scrolling, reading and commenting on this site
Best wishes
Johannes

For those who are interested in a verbal statement by myself about my approach to Performance art I would like to suggest the following site, which features an interview which Irene Pascual and Christopher Hewitt did March 8th 2011.
