Fine Art

[close] A group for performance art, an art form considered as fine art, such as a painting or sculpture. Through their performance, the performance artist often become the material used to make the work. Performance art is based on time, the work exists in the moment of its creation, whilst documentation and artefacts from the performance are often residues, but may still become works in their own right. The performance artist often uses their own body or presence, but might find other ways to orchestrate a time-based piece. The audience who experience the artwork are not separate from the artwork, and they are often either within it or a fundamental part of it.

[close] in one year i will hopefully be studying history of art in university, and i wanted to create a group for those interested in art history as i couldn't find any specific ones. are there any books you recommend? any discussion you want to fire up? i hope that this can be a passionate and inspiring enough space for you all!

[close] A group for discussing the best art book releases and recommending your favourites to give others ideas for new books. This includes artist's monographs, picture books, books on art history and theory, photography, design, architecture, drawing and creativity.

[close] This group is for artists who also love to read as a break from creating their art.
