When we think of the theater, one image before all others comes to mind: two iconic masks side by side, one happy and the other sad. These masks represent the facade of acting, the range of human emotion, the masks we all where, and/or a host of other interpretations. Performance artists take the idea of theater, conceptual art, and visual art to make a new critical art. A culture gives away its opinion of human subjectivity in the way it constructs its masks, and a persona is a kind of mask worn by many pop or performance artists. The masks of Carnival are also complicated social constructions that both celebrate and reinforce boundaries at the same time.
