=== Professionalization of performance art ===
In the Western World, in the 1990s, performance art joined the mainstream culture. Diverse performance artworks, live, photographed or through documentation started to become part of galleries and museums that began to understand performance art as an art discipline.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Targ Brill|first1=Marlene|title=America in the 1990s|publisher=Lerner Publishing Group|year=2009|pages=93, 1|location=Minneapolis|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=BNXeIFQScocC&q=performance|access-date=March 11, 2011|isbn=978-0-8225-7603-7}}</ref> Nevertheless, it was not until the next decade that a major institutionalization happened, when every museum started to incorporate performance art pieces into their collections and dedicating great exhibitions and retrospectives, museums such as the [[Tate Modern]] in London, the [[MoMA]] in New York City or the [[Pompidou Centre]] in Paris. From the 1990s on, many more performance artists were invited to important biennials like the [[Venice Biennale]], the [[Sao Paulo Biennial]] and the [[Lyon]] Biennial.
