Performance Art - “art where the actions of an individual or a group at a particular place and in a particular time, constitute the work. It can happen anywhere, at any time, or for any length of time. Performance art can be any situation that involves four basic elements: time, space, the performer’s body and a relationship between performer and audience. It is opposed to painting or sculpture, for example, where an object constitutes the work.” - Wikipedia

In a recent example, Dave Cole used construction equipment and 20 foot knitting needles to knit giant objects, like this oversized american flag at http://www.massmoca.org/.  The project, which took place in July, involved a pair of John Deer excavators to create the flag at the museum.  After creation, the flag was folded military style, and is now housed as part of the MASS MoCa collection.
