Pretentious bollocksPossibly the worst event I ever went to was an evening of turntablists in London. The lights went down, the first guy put a cymbal onto a turntable, dropped the needle on it and left it making screeching noises for ten minutes.
When the lights came up, half the audience had snuck out.
What's the most pretentious rubbish you've ever been to see in the name of art?

tate modernAs an art student,I see possibly more than my fair share of pretentious bollocks....my mate (probably not my mate anymore) made a video in media last year, for his final proect....there was no sounds I could hear, but it was basically some skinny guy with make up on running around a cellar or something, a load of random smelly goffic types (and apparently the guy out of Torsohorse)....and a guy with long hair, running around a field, wearing a t-shirt and white pants (y-fronts, perhaps), holding an inflatable sheep. Dunno about pretentious, but it made me piss myself. Also, in reply to The Beast with the cold, you don't pay to get into the Tate Gallery (at least you didn't when I last went), so what are you bitching about? You don't even have to go in there, if you don't like it..... *likes the Tate*
