Nature in (of) performance art

ABSTRACT IN CROATIAN: Zadrzat cemo se na prirodi kao toposu umjetnosti performansa s naglaskom na domacim primjerima, i to od inicijacije umjetnosti performansa u lokalnom kontekstu - od sljemenskih hermeticnih akcija grupe Gorgona (1959-1966.) i Gotovceva fotoperformansa Pokazivanje casopisa Elle (serija od sest fotografija, Sljeme, 1962.). Rijec je o fragmentarnom presjeku koji ima za cilj prikazati kako su umjetnici/ice tretirali prirodu u svojim performansima, od kojih su neki tretirali prirodu i kao fenomen land art (Earthworks). // ABSTRACT IN ENGLISH: We will consider nature as topos of the performance art with an emphasis on local examples, and from a more distant past (ie. from the very beginning of the formation of performance art in a local context) - eg. from hermetic actions of Gorgona Group (1959-1966) on Sljeme and Vukomericke Gorice, and from Tomislav Gotovac' photo-performance Showing of Elle magazine (series of six photographs, Sljeme, 1962). It is a fragmentary section on how artists treat the space of nature in their performances, some of which have treated the nature as well as a phenomenon of Land Art (Earthworks).
