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?

Quite a few actuallyOn a day trip to the Glasgow School of Art for the higher module of Art in high school, we were given a tour around so that the big-people projects might inspire us for our own end of the year assessed work. Among other things, the most laughable projects included the twenty or so 12x15 black and white photos of a guy farting in a bathtub, the egg carton neighbourhood and wool.
So why couldn't we just fart and stick lollipop sticks up our arses and photograph that for our projects? Because we didn't "appreciate" it enough.
*edit* The blue fanny was quite nice too.
