It had apicture yesterday of this website where they have real shots of people cut open after tumor removal surgery. It made me queasy and yet, engrossed at the same time as I was drawn in by the shape and design of the skeleton and muscles...
"horrid" Robbie Williams video? I quite liked it.
cool (in a 1970's Feminism sorta way).
it would be better if she tore herself down to the bone, revealing a better-than-steel skeleton, unleashing herself on the audience, T2-style ... the world could do with a few less professional art critics.
It occurs to me that "I already saw that on MTV" is probably the second most hurtful thing you could ever say to a performance artist.
The worst being -- still -- "I saw that on The Gong Show."
if she was karen finley, i might have more respect ('drop that ghetto blaster!'). god help me, but i've never seen the gong show. last performance artist i saw irl was, alethea lahoefer. she had us don 3d glasses at a critical moment in her (irl 3d) preformance. i swore off performance artists after that (i kept the 3d glasses, though - what a philistine).
Not on MTV, people actually do that around here when they run out of clothes it's so friggin' hot.
Same woman, same gown, same everything. Except she could dig into her flesh rather than just rip off layers.
I don't think I've seen the video in question.
one really only needs to say two words.
performance art

Heh, you mustn't have been reading for the porcelain figurines. ;-)
