It sounds as if you knew what performance art was before you came to the article " performance art". Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (lead section)#First sentence, the first sentence should: "[put] the article in context". As you yourself argue, "art" seems the appropriate context for "performance art", even obviously so. However, other possible contexts could include "art history", "formal analysis", etc. Hyacinth ( talk) 00:57, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
