Course Objectives:	Emerging in the mid-20th century, ‘Performance Art’ emerged in America as a continuation of avant-garde movements (such as Futurism, Dadaism, Expressionism, Surrealism). Basically, this movement, which discusses conventional music and performing arts in terms of form and content, breaks stereotypical artistic ideas and consists only of action-oriented performances, regardless of space and time. Within the framework of a specific theme, it is possible to see performances in almost all art genres in addition to genres such as Happening, Pop-Art, Fluxus. Students taking the course will have knowledge in the field of performance art and will reach a basic level of knowledge about contemporary art. Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to acquire the following knowledge.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1. Students will learn how, why and how art has changed since the Renaissance.
2. They will acquire basic information about Friedrich Nietzsche who influenced art in terms of content and form.
3. They will learn how and how avant-garde movements emerged in all branches of art.
4. Recognize the important representatives of contemporary theater.
5. learn the history of socio-political situations that have contributed to the emergence of performance art.
6. will be able to discuss the works of various performance artists.
7. Gain the ability to comment on the performing arts and gain intellectual knowledge.
8. will be able to interpret contemporary performances, especially in the Biennials organized in Istanbul and in various museums.

Course Content

During the 14-week education period, the historical socio-political tendency at the origin of avant-garde movements and performance art will be explained in our course, and the works of various performance artists will be watched and discussed with the students. A theoretical education will be observed.
