Abstract
If the ontological meaning of the term performance were directed towards the overall creativity in the culture of mankind, then it might be concluded that the performance is the oldest form of artistic expression. This term, however, can not be placed on the same level with the term performance art, which defines special avant-garde art form. It was founded in the 1960s as a protest against the institutionalized art, as a movement for the liberation of art and artists from the imposed forms and clich?s. Performance Art is a work that has no defined shape, with fluid borders and ready to open for cooperation with other forms of cultural creativity. One of its main features is interactivity. Performance Art is an omnipresent cultural paradigm, which monitored and is still monitoring the social thoughts development. This layered and comprehensive art form is in constant movement, making possibilities for the analysis and theoretical approaches inexhaustible. This paper presents the basic characteristics of Performance Art as the established form of artistic expression in the XXI century and conceptual differences between the performance and Performance Art.
