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?

At the Laing Gallery in NewcastleDuring an exhibition involving modern sculpture, somebody had put a rock on an empty pedestal waiting for its display to arrive.
At least 10 people wandered over to it, and mused stroking their chins for a few minutes discussing its artistic merits.
