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?

"This is a drawing of a view through an aperture. The linear shape is a kind of a keyhole through which we can see a cluster of little studs. These are derived from the shape of the little hard green stars on top of an orange, the bit where stalk would have attached. They are arranged into a sort of a constellation pattern. The dome shape of the top of this object also looks a bit like the shape of an orange.
The lines of the drawing also form other shapes. The parts on the right look a bit like a bird’s beak. The lines in the lower part of the drawing look like a bird’s neck. Overall, the aperture shape even looks like a priest’s hat, with a shallow dome and a wide broad brim.
All sorts of visual objects are referred to in this drawing, which purposefully has no narrative."
It's a meaningless bunch of lines and dots that look vaguely like stuff.
