Ms Schaefer, who teaches performance art to those less gifted than herself, is a recipient of the Boston ICA’s 2015 Foster Prize, and has been described by the ICA’s senior curator as “amazing,” “compelling” and yet inexplicably “underfunded.”

After seeing this I admit I am “amazed”. This descriptor is not a good thing. What I saw and heard was not good.
I recommend that nobody invest in this person or her business model.
Would perhaps, meeting a real bear help?
meeting a real bear would introduce some reality into her life
..what a lovely,early morning laugh !
“I’m no artist so if I can do it, it’s not art”
Red Green
I guess someone told her to go hang herself in the woods.
“[Y]et inexplicably ‘underfunded.'”
Oh, the peoplekind, er, humanity!
ya know, back in the day in Vancouvers Stanley Park, there used to these “Bee-Ins”..bands would play and there were always a few real freaks blitzed on acid dancing around weirdly…she’s a throwback maybe.?
I’m amazed that one can still get good quality WindowPane these days.
Can stay under funded.
“Ms Schaefer, who teaches performance art to those less gifted than herself…”
I understand she has yet to actually find a student that meets this criteria.
A certain segment of society that believes in nothing will follow a nothing like this.
When you give money to the Mendel, that is what you are paying for. Or whatever your local art gallery is.
Don’t bother voting for anyone who promises to fund anything. Ever.
Remember Ken back in the day when our parents would catch us jerking around with other people’s property like the automatic doors or the hand dryer or catch us standing around like a useless turd they would usually warn us with something like “smarten up or Ill use the end of my boot to lift your ass”.
The problem today seems to be that the adults in the room no longer see a need to say or do that.
I doubt I’m the only one that was in no small measure, disappointed with this performance, finding myself asking “does she even care anymore”?
Back in the day, she had no fear to show us the state of life, she’d shown us some leg back then too, and we liked it.

I was getting dressed for a winter run very early one dark winter morn and managed to try to pull on a fleece top without removing the hangar. and there i was, giving an underfunded performance art piece. It’s true, you do have to suffer for your art, particularly when the hanger hits your nose.
I trust that her next performance art piece will to be a permanently under-funded performance artist.
When I started high school in Grade 8 nearly 50 years ago, I had an art class teacher who was a bit of a flake. For example, she started the course by asking the question “What is art?”, as if I, a young teenager, would know.
I suspect that the current artistic fruit-loopery had its origin with people like her.
A deep green theocrat might find meaning in that performance but to me it was just infantile attention-seeking and what’s worse, I stupidly watched almost all of it, thinking that she might do something else. A two second clip is more than enough to appreciate all its nuances. I suspect that Kindergarten viewers would find it slightly entertaining but lacking in plot. Another reason why no art should be state-subsidized/funded.
You can lead a horse to art, but. . .
Art … is NOT … “anything and everything”
Art … is like a beautiful face … something we ALL know it when we see it. Yes, with variations for taste and preference (I like blonde, you like brunette) … but none of us mistake an ugly face for a beautiful one.
NONE of us call this sort of a train wreck … art.
