Anyone ever go to any performance art shows? I'm talking weirdo stuff like say...the artist:

-waxes the "Brazillian" area, and creates a mask from the leftovers

-tears the pages from a fashion magazine, tears into little pieces, adds water, eats it all, then barfs it up then creates a mask

These are two examples of "pieces" that were discussed at a get together friday night.

I've never been. I'm pretty sure I never will.

Like the person who bleeds and sh*ts all over a canvas and calls it a masterpiece of expression?

Ya, the crap that passes through art colleges is amazing/revolting.

Dancin' over rocks n' roots!
I have seen some performance art pieces but I prefer paintings, murals, etc.

One of my High School classmates just designed one of the limited edition Mountain Dew Bottles. :thumb: He's done a bunch of board designs for Burton too, but it was cool to see his most recent achievement in the grocery store!

when I was living in PGh there was a performance artist at Carnegie Mellon who did a piece which consisted of him dressing in a lobster costume and living in a shack on campus for a week.

Wait a second, I can get a job jumping up and down flinging paint? Where the hell was that on the test my guidance counselor gave me in High School...
