unmistakable

1. Does "unmistakable" mean "unquestionable" or "clear and obvious and easily recognizable" in this context?

2.What does "perform criticality" mean?

Context:

The language that customarily defines the time-based conventions of performance is unmistakable here, but this view also points towards the artist’s new-found role as ‘cultural-artistic service provider’ (rather than merely a ‘producer of aesthetic objects’), whose tendency is self- reflexively to perform criticality.

"Not only is the language that customarily defines the time-based conventions of performance unmistakable

red apple Is it actually the summarized form of "not only..., but also"?
Not exactly. 'Not only...but also' coordinates two phrases/clauses/etc. As above, however, 'but also' used alone generally focuses on a subordinate, I think.
