Drumming as Performance Art

In the Seventies and Eighties,

the Fine Art world was

into Performance and

Conceptual art. Many rituals and

events took place in art galleries.

What I perceived stuck with me.

Now, the performance art with

drumming groups has an element

that previous Fine Art performance

art could not allow it self to have;

spiritual or inspirational content.

I saw a hunger for deeper

content in the attendees at those

performance art events. But the

Fine Art world felt uncomfortable

with that. Now we drum.
