The Performance art scene in Bangalore (Karnataka) became visible and grew organically since 2000. Bangalore in Karnataka has become the nucleus for Performance Art in India. The Bangalore art scene has always been known for its experimental approaches be it Installation art, Performance Art, or New Media art, It is pioneered as the most happening place in India. we could observe a good deal of groundwork and mature evolution of the performance art scene in Bangalore. With numerous experiments in public spaces,
those were based largely on social issues as a core concern. Many artists
participated in these events doing both interactive and installation work. Bangalore has made a major contribution to this field right from its
early period. These attempts resulted in bringing forth new materials, forms,
language, and space. Individualist, collaborative, and connecting with land,
communities, and public spaces – artists of Bangalore with determination and
restlessness responded to their inner calls. Not only installations but also
Performance and Sound art found expressions here in those early times.
