Khrenov, N. A. From Performance Art in Its Actual
Protest Forms to Cultural Precedent.
Article 1
Abstract:
A creative personality as a public figure is the topic of this article. The said personality
can express itself in different forms. In this particular case among all possible forms the author
is emphasizing and considering the one where the protest is coming to the fore. Such forms of the
contemporary art as performance and happening, and most of all those pieces of art which are
laying a special emphasize on the protest, are appearing as a concrete expression of this form.
Radicalism appearing in these art forms aids detecting aspects of artist’s creativeness which are
promoting transformation of any creative person to a public figure. Pertain of performance and
happening to art it is not obvious. These art forms are perceived as marginal one and are exclusive
of the conventional art system. More often than not their radical protest is liable to prosecution.
However legal evaluation does not facilitate but complicate esthetic evaluating. In order to overcome
the doubtful status of these forms, it is necessary to consider them as cultural phenomenon
with past precedents. “Yurodstvo” (idiotic action) of the times of Ancient Rus is their immediate
predecessor. This is the first attempt to analyze the creative personality at such culturological
angel. Based on researches of A. van Gennep and W. Turner, the author is revealing a latent character
in creative person’s activity, which is known as liminality, in other words, a necessity and
ability to express protest which is not only a protest against the power, but as protest against the
society stagnating in conformism. In pre-industrial societies any bearer of liminality, i.e. a wacky,
was a sacred person, who should not suffer persecution of authorities. In secularized societies the
artist and images of his/her heroes are bearers of liminality. And happenings and performances
are the contemporary forms for expressing the spirit of liminality.
Keywords:
Creative personality, performance, happening, public figure, yurodstvo, Avantgarde, liminality, anti-behaviour, sacral, secularity.
