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?

Philistines...were more cultured than this lot.
However, I sympathise with the incomprehensibility of modern art. I once made a piece of trash sculpture - carefully / idly melting my emptied white plastic coffee cup with my zippo till it was wholy holey, then nailing it to a wooden plinth. I inscribed "Politics" on the plinth.
It occured to me *after I'd done this* (and that is why I'm NOT an artist) that my protest against art bullshit was in fact potentially a valid art piece. Behold the melted cup! Its intact base anchored to the natural foundation of wood! Ascending the cup, behold the melted corruption that twists the functional form of the cup! "Politics"!!!
If I'd thought of that bfore melting the cup, it would be valid. As long as I had a degree in Fine Art and not chemistry.
Balls.
