TOP 10 OF PERFORMANCE-ART STEREO TYPES
BY LESLIE HILL
1. PERFORMANCE ARTISTS ARE PERPETUALLY NAKED
2. PERFORMANCE-PIECES ARE NECESSARILY FILLED WITH EFFLUVIA
3. PERFORMERS ARE EITHER GAY MEN, STRAIGHT WOMEN, LESBIANS, WOMEN OF COLOUR, MEN OF COLOUR, UNEMPLOYED NORTHERN-IRISH-SINGLE-PARENT-COAL-MINERS OR OTHERWISE OPPRESSED MINORITY
4. PERFORMANCE ARTISTS ARE EITHER SMART OR SMART ASSES
5. PERFORMANCE ARTISTS ARE SELF-INDULGENT
6. PERFORMANCE ART IS PROBABLY POLITICAL, EVEN IF NO ONE CAN UNDERSTAND IT
7. SOLO PERFORMANCE WORK IS USUALLY AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL (A LOGICAL PROGRESSION OF 3 + 5) AND IS FREQUENTLY SELF-WRITTEN, DIRECTED AND PERFORMED
8. PERFORMANCE-ART EVENTS WILL BE ADVERTISED USING ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING ADJECTIVES: ´CUTTING EDGE´, ´GROUND-BREAKING´, ´ICONOCLASTIC´, ´UNCOMPROMISING´, ´HARD HITTING´, ´CONTEMPORARY´ AND/OR ´IN YOUR FACE´
9. A WIG ON THE HEAD OF A PERFORMANCE ARTIST IS A PROP, NOT A COSTUME
10. WITHIN ANY GIVEN PERFORMANCE PIECE, MEANING WILL BE DECONSTRUCTED FASTER THAN IT IS CONSTRUCTED, THEREBY LEAVING THE AUDIENCE IN DEFICIT BY THE END OF THE PIECE
