Brief description of the work CONCRETIZED PERFORMANCE
The information with regard to the timing when the third artistic performance entitled "Concretized Performance" begins and ends is the only information and action that represents the driving force of the artistic project, giving its figure and shape, interpreting, characterizing and actualizing the artistic work. We do this intentionally, since we want to create a fictitious performance in which the aesthetic performance methods, criteria, classifications, elements, characteristics, contexts and concept will be partially present, or absent, with extremely minimized elements. The marginalization of the aforementioned performance values is derived from the author's urge and choice to have their presence reduced to a minimum in the constitution of this artistic product, and as such a created statement to refer and exist as an artistic work that exploits the theme of nothingness as a form.

Brief description of the work
The absurdity of doing nothing (nothingness) in the artistic sphere is a term that grows into a pivot and current thematic preoccupation that is expressed through this artistic action entitled “Abstaining from art.” My intention is to analyze the stated notion that the abstinence, i.e. doing nothing in art can transform and mutate in character and come to the point of reproducing art, i.e. a work of art. The act of declaring and profiling an art exhibit will contribute to theorizing that the constant nothing becomes and reformulates into a concrete something. One can conclude that the participation of the nothingness has the constitution of a power to shape and create an artistic product. I emphasize the conclusion that not making art can be art in itself. The medium through which the work is presented is a textually documented art performance. It is a text that presents the act of performance expanded with the topic of the nothingness.
