The Collective Power of Performance Art

Singapore Biennale 2013 Mandi Bunga (Flower Bath)

Performance art is a strange thing. As a live event it happens in the moment, unrehearsed. It can be a solitary performance by the artist or a public one- in which case it evolves with its participants often beyond the artist’s control and into something very different from what was initially envisioned. Perhaps that is the beauty of this open ended art form.
