Type: article
Abstract: The paper focuses on the phenomena of performance and performative practices in the Ukrainian culture of the specified period. Emphasis is made on the development of performative practices as one of the components of the complex embodiment of the artist’s idea in an art project. It is also emphasized that the realization of a holistic idea often goes beyond a single work and often includes a series of works united by consistent artistic practice. The aim of the paper is to determine the features of performative practices in the context of Ukrainian culture in the art projects of contemporary Ukrainian artists. These phenomena have gained considerable popularity, as the elements of performativity are present in the various areas of culture and art. It was suggested that artists’ appeal to performative practices is a sign of an attraction to project thinking. It is also emphasized that the concept of performative practice has not yet become established, but the expansion of the author’s interpretations, is obvious. Such approach provides more accurate definition for theoretical discussion and reaffirms the relevance and prospects of the topic.
