In case you are wondering what is realy going on in the video here is a narative:
- The video starts out with Stolz using a manual can opener to open a can of clearly expired SpaghetiOs. It takes her two minutes to do so because she has trouble using the can opener.
I'm 3.5 minutes in and have it paused. I can only take so much at one time. I do want to question how someone can be so inept with a can opener. It's not exactly complicated machinery :^S
Please god stop before the internet take your innocence away
Where to begin? I felt that the visuals presented were very simultaneously striking as well as domesticated. The entire process while trans formative was a physical representation of the artists inner dialectic, juxtaposing saffron spirituality and utilitarian objects in a compromised setting.
The beginning of the performance left a lot to be desired, but as the artist's struggle to open the can continues one feels a sense of frustration about the Bush administration and a sobering reminder of post 9/11 neo-colonialism, it mitigates the very phallocentric nature of neo-culture in John Asscrofts aMeRIkkkA, where every wardrobe malfunction becomes a gesture of the feminine violent against a landscape of testicular domination.
The cutting of the jeans with scissors represents the oppression/repression of Womyn by straight white males, and the urinating on floor is a cyclically temporal Wiccan interpretive dance that politicized polarizing gender resistance. Interesing to note is how the rather ethnocentric crowd watches this sumptuous feast of post-Derridian brio-cum-angst silently like a shtetl of schmatte-clad yentas.
thats art?
what made me laugh was how a few in the audience were trying NOT to laugh but most were trying to look like it was boring and they didn't care. really it was rather odd..
And this is a perfect example of why I think most modern art is dogshit. Comparing this to a rembrandt or a monet is bullshit and calling it "art" is a farce. All I saw was a grown up child playing with her food and then not making it to the bathroom in time to piss.
Performance art of the highest calibre, my friend.What the flying fuck did I just watch?!?!?

I thought that look was because they were bored. And they were trying not to show that they were embarrassed for her. Then at the end they acted like they were blown away with it because that's what they thought they were supposed to do. One guy even said "yeah! art!" Just a bunch of people trying to hard to be cultured and thinking they're the only one who doesn't enjoy what they're doing.
That was performance art, a far cry from traditional art. I can't stand it, don't want to, and wish people would knock it off. :thumbsdown:
