Back in the day a big strong Irish girl like that would be out hoeing………potatoes…….with a hoe.
Look at the taters on that hoe!! Baby’s gonna eat well tonight!
I think she’s in really big trouble. She has stepped over the double yellow line.

Great source for informed dialogue on art. How to comment, seemingly with some insight. I think they must use this in our National gallery. http://www.pixmaven.com/phrase_generator.html
“Tensions that are, we’re assured, “palpable.”
Palpating tensions is a big part of what mental health professionals do. Of course, people who work in massage parlors do it, too.
Takes a more palpable ‘tension span’ than mine to appreciate that.
I liked that you could skip ahead on the vimeo without missing anything important.
Was my life supposed to be forever transformed by that?
Ha!
This farsighted bookworm mute hates the rain…wants to scream at the weather! What a ‘crockabalone’ * act!
In a similar vein, I once heard about a guy who invented this art form. He would go downtown at rush hour and on the sidewalk in front of Eaton’s Department Store, would look up and point towards the sky, shouting over and over, ……”look…look…look…look…look…look.”
* TQ for the joke, sir!
Give me a loyalist mural any day. No government funding needed.
She needs a famine for some perspective.
This type of “art” is SO pedestrian, no talent, challenge, or thought is required to do this. A dog or a monkey could do the same.
Now, if these performance artists want to really do something progressive and daring, something new and exciting, totally OUT of the mainstream, I suggest they climb to the top of the Golden Gate Bridge, or if they’re in Vancouver, the top of the Lion’s Gate Bridge, and leap off into the water below. Video, of course for posterity.
Call it: “The Descent of Man”.
THAT is ART.

Did you just assume their gender?!?! 😀
I, for one am speechless…
There are no words to describe.
I agree, it is un-describable.
From the comments at David’s site:
Learn….to,,,,code — the new epithet in response to the idiocies of the left and or merely stupid.
And to think that they have closed most of the public mental institutions.
And the chickens have come home to roost…
1964…Andy Warhol ran a pic of the Empire State Building for 8 hours and 5 minutes. It’s all been done before.
I was taken by the dramatic contrast between her art and the graffiti in the tunnel. Alas, the graffiti won…
Actually, some of the wall art is quite pleasant, similar to some I’ve seen in Gastown.
Tragic…. ….. another poor dear, who needs more DNA in her diet.
If she feels all this, shouldn’t she paint or sculpt something to convey these feelings, abstract or otherwise? Apparently that isn’t necessary anymore.
SHE doesn’t feel anything but, perhaps, an incoherent and incomprehending dull rage-;ile thing about the world that isn’t just like she wants it. This unexamined, deeply insignificant rage, does not, unfortunately, remain unarticulated. It is articulated like a lorry (as they would say over there). With all the subtlety of banging your head against a wall. It’s her head she has a problem with, not the world around it.
At first I thought it was a worshipful ode to facebook and how it deliciously sucked her life away but then the umbrella opened and I lost my grasp on modern art again. And her ass was too fat.
I know Art. He is a friend of mine.
What do you call a guy with no arms or legs, who is nailed to the wall?
Belfast?
pfft at least they arent bombing and shooting each other, those delightful christians eh?
It’s called zany art, you had to keep a straight face!
My friend’s mom used to like to embarrass her in public, just for laughs.
One day they were shopping at a multi-level department store. On display was a beautiful modern bathroom which they stopped to admire. The feature was complete with a shower, sink and all the accoutrements possible, lovely thick fresh towels, bath mats, light fixture, mirrored wall, and of course a modern toilet bowl.
The friend’s mother decided to pretend to use it! My friend almost died!
My eyes! My eyes…. Curse you David Thompson, Curse you!
Was this for a credit class at her university? I hope she’s received top marks for this effort.
I know how most girls with this much talent gain top marks at university. Don’t pretend you don’t know what I’m talking about.
IMO , ok class credit. It is a put-on.
Not an ad.
Now that I’ve watched it, I can’t help but wonder why she did it in alleys and not in a more public setting. Very few people seemed to notice her, and if they noticed they didn’t seem to care. Don’t artists want to be noticed and acclaimed?
Maybe she figures that “artists” like her are marginalized and, by putting her “display” in an alley, she was emphasizing that point.
On the other hand, alley space might not cost anything and she wouldn’t be a sidewalk obstruction.
You know what people like to watch? Base jumping. Every performance artist should do a base jumping video before they do anything else.
So I only watched until I found out it was a book. Initially, I thought some fat-ass had done a face plant into a hotel key card reader. Did that once after a hard night in Ottawa. I blamed it on the ice and snow…
If it’s a chemistry textbook and she’s trying this as a study technique, it won’t work; I’ve tried.
