In this essay, I propose an ontology of performance art subsequent to my previous study on ‘an ontology of installation art’. In the second and the third chapter, I suggest own my ontology of performance art in the critical reconstruction to Currie's and Davies' ontology of art. The body movements of performers are the perceptual objects of the appreciation in performance art. Its performers are more free in the performing time and the interpretation of the arch forms than the performers of work for performance. Another purpose of this essay is to exemplify a heuristic narrative of the performance art. My case study is for Shin Min's <Basketball Standards>. In the forth chapter, I complete the heuristic narrative relevant to the socio-historical context. In the fifth, I consider the aesthetic content of the artworks. In the final chapter, I assess the intelligibility of the heuristic narrative and try to make connection to the aesthetic evaluation of it.
