PERFORMANCE AS PARODY
Abstract
The emergence of special associated with Fluxus artistic practices in a form of performance is analyzed in this article. Though the performance was not the characteristic of Fluxus artistic activity, one could see its earliest forms on Fluxus festivals. Special ironic performances which were based on the parodying of classical artistic works had been practiced by the artists. The performances existed in forms of scores which in turn were aimed to fix the main steps of a creative process. The mentioned peculiarity was connected with emergence of the performances from classical music institutional forms. The author analyzed three scores (namely minioperas by Benjamin Patterson) and came to conclusions about the main art features of a parody performance in Action Art. The place of the parodic genre within the Action Art practices was found as well as stylistic characteristics of Avant-Garde and Postmodern art were defined.
