art and body

frazer ward talks a lot about the work of chris burden in particular the work shoot, and how this work is a perfect example of the relationship between Performance art and Conceptual art. frazer explains the work as a work that.
"at first glance seems emphatically counter to the rational analyses of Conceptualism, has in common with Conceptualism the fact that it is the (painfully) empirical working through of a predetermined plan. Not only that, but it now exists primarily as documentation (and what
Burden refers to as "relics"), so that its material existence, as with much performance art, somewhat resembles the characteristic forms of Conceptual art."

i agree with sophie's post on this subject she says she has never seen conceptual art and performance as seperate entities. i think simply performance can't exist without conceptual art.
