Müürileht 14, spring 2011

In the article published in Estonian independent culture magazine Müürileht, the question of usefulness in Art is tackled, focusing on performance art. First, the essence of performance art is tried to be fixated, asking if the discipline could exist without audience, what could be the most minimal performance, and should the artist focus on experience or entertainment. Then, the notion of Experience Art or experience as the purest manifestation of art is brought up, concluding with an appeal to artists to create art that affects people directly, making them give up their (self-)destructive habits, and thereby helping to make the world a better place. The importance of performance art in this context is emphasized.
