Performance Art

Mary Martin was an American performance artist whose practice emerged from the intersection of dance, visual art, and experimental theater in the mid-twentieth century. Working primarily with her own body as material, she created immersive environments and kinetic compositions that challenged conventional distinctions between performer and artwork. Her practice established foundational approaches to live art that would influence generations of performance-based practitioners.
