NEW FEBRUARY 2008 SMALL WORKS FOR SALE: Over the years I have collected a vast amount of personal art. Even though I did sell art through Galleries there is a lot of time involved in doing so and I quit selling it about ten years ago so I could dedicate more time to my performance art. Due to shipping difficulties the Internet is only friendly to small works. Therefore I have put up a number of my small works. The ETSY gallery is located here http://www.jackbowman.etsy.com My own Gallery is located here http://www.performanceart2.com/smallworks/ I will also frequently list them on Ebay. All the works are less than half the price they were in 1995. Considering inflation they are very inexpensive.

Internet Performance Art contains one thing that a Performance Art Document does not contain. It is the potential for the Internet audience to participate in the performance. http://www.internetperformanceart.com/index.html

The Shape of Time. An in progress site (as of 17 August 2007) about visualizing and seeing time as a form. http://www.retropunkx.com/timeshape.htm

Out Out Brief Candle; The most complex and theatrical of my (Jack Bowman) performances. Contained simultaneous performances. Involved six performers. Requires two Rats. Involves suicide/democracy/Jim Jones/Hitler. Good script/excellent video. Actually performed in a theater (Cleveland Public Theater). Performed April 9, 1994. Still mentioned in reviews two years later. From the Cleveland Free Times, August 7, 1996, page 19. "and that wild and crazy tension monger Jack Bowman and Rituals (remember the chicken decapitating? the rats?) will certainly rev up the evening"

A complete video of this performance is posted at http://www.creativityfacts.com/outout/index.html This site is in progress as of July 2007. This performance was the most complex of my performances until the http://www.retropunkx.com/index.html that was created twelve years later. Even though this performance was "Performance Art" I saw that it was too theatrical and wanted to explore other possibilities.

MILLENNIUM'S END RITUAL This is short, about five minutes. Contains no words. Involves two performers. One female must be nude. Performed July 27, 1993, October 8, 1993 and April 8, 1994. This site is posted as of June 2007. It contains the video from April 8, 1994 performance and the still photo's and text from the original July 27, 1993 performance. It also contains the Performance Manifesto as well as a link to Chapter 8 of the Retro Punk X performance. http://www.retropunkx.com/ritual.htm This site will give you a thorough understanding of this piece as well as a better understanding of all my performances. I decided to post this performance because it is relevant to the Retro Punk X piece that is currently in progress. There is a link from it to Chapter 8 of the Retro Punk X performance.

Meta Creative Magazine is a 46 page Internet Magazine with art, stories, and essays. My essay "THE ARTISTS PLIGHT IN A CIVILIZED WORLD" is about Creativity and Performance art (on page 33), a quote, "Performance Art becomes the high art of our time. This is because it contains so many elements from the environment. These are things such as taste, smell, sound, real space, time, humans, history, religions, and governments." It is in pdf format and located here;

Retro Punk X Performance art site http://www.retropunkx.com/ is an in progress site that is being performed in the Spring, Summer or Fall of 2007. It is an elaborate piece about the struggle between the Artist and the Super Organism. Many parts are (as of the end of April) completed including the BlooMeUp Moe girl and her bubble gum collection. The Enticer girls are also complete. Both of these contain short video clips in different formats. They can be accessed in these different formats which include YouTube. The performance is divided into Chapters with many pages of text and links to other text and videos.

CREATIVITY FACTS http://www.creativityfacts.com/ is a site that will appeal to painters, conceptual artists, and High School and College students. Some of it was taken from a cluttered with adv. free site but they are all cleaned up and now easy to read. There is also much new information.

The Red Queen This is the Perfect Performance Art Piece because it involves combined multiple performances. It includes "Fred", the invisible performer. He is the Internet site that contains all the information, including video and still photographs. Any of the performances can stand alone or be combined in any manner to make a complete performance. This works because it is based on Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking Glass" Alice in the Garden of Live Flowers. This gives them all a common root. Index for the performances, video, still photos, "Fred's" stand alone part, creative records and alternate performance www.RedQueenPrinciple.com Performed 28 October 2006 in Dayton Ohio. Follow the links to get the full effect. If all the pages of this performance are printed out it will be more than 30 pages. The video is about 5 minutes long.

INDUSTRIAL CULTURE PERFORMANCE ART MANIFESTO and short essay on the origin and influences of Industrial Culture Performance Art. Also contains links to major Performance Art and Performance Poetry sites.

This site is the Holy Grail of Performance Art. It was performed at the "Pearl" in Dayton Ohio on March 12, 2006. It has all the positive attributes of Performance Art. It has mind manipulation, entertainment, deceit, poetry, unplanned audience interaction, audience participation. It is dance. It is time Art (time is a very important intentional aspect of the performance). It is a future predictor. A Prophet. Unlike The Red Queen it only requires one performer. Video of the performance is on the site. HELL'S BULLET

Excellent article about the Dayton Ohio Performance Art movement . Written by Tiffany Shaw. Go to http://www.daytoncitypaper.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=2365 Article was published December 20th, 2005.

Link to a site dedicated to the pursuit of the math/visual/other formula that shows how evolution works. A lot of interesting graphic, audio, and video as well as the secrets of the universe. It has a major performance art section about the performance art piece called "Secrets of the Super Code" with script, notes, video clips, and still photographs. It has an illustrated Lewis Carroll's RED QUEEN. Also contains Jack's Law on the termination of colonizing species. NEW PAGE "JACK'S BUGS" ADDED IN JANUARY 1999

JACK'S THEOREM AND THE PRIMAL THOUGHT is a site dedicated to the performance art piece by the same name. Performed at the Cleveland Performance Art Festival in 1993. Includes script, video clips, notes and still photos. Yes it is the notorious performance of the decapitated chicken but I did not include video or stills of the dead chicken. IN DECEMBER OF 1998 PRODUCTION NOTES WERE ADDED.

THIS WAS UPDATED IN 2006 and now contains the video of the last ten minutes of the performance (the dead chicken) as well as additional notes.

Yahoo/Geocities has changed the format for viewing Real Player video's. The Performance Art and Dayton's Dark Intellect pages have been rewritten to allow viewing. You almost have to be a Computer Scientist to follow the directions but they are worth your while.
