The performative turn brings about the concept of a work of art as a unique, ephemeral event, which is created during its course by all the participants (artists and spectators) together. This disrupts the overall understanding of a work of art as a finished, fixed artefact intended for aesthetic contemplation. The performative turn thus simultaneously implies serious changes to the nature of artistic practice and has even influenced it significantly in the last few decades. In an attempt to respond to these developments in art, the German theatrologist Erika Fischer-Lichte points out the need to formulate the aesthetics of performativity that, unlike the aesthetics of works of art, would adequately reflect the constitutive elements of performative art. Drawing on the outlined issues, our paper draws attention to the crucial differences between the aesthetics of works of art and the aesthetics of performativity, which enable us to trace the extent of the changes brought about by the shift from the aesthetics of works of art to the aesthetics of performativity. At the same time, it tries to show that the aesthetics of performativity, constituted as a primarily interdisciplinary theory, allows us to extend the field of action of aesthetics even towards everyday social practice, precisely because of the importance of its performative aspects. We have demonstrated these claims on a concrete example – an on-site durational performance by the GUIDES Art Collective.
