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?

Stir CrazyI once saw a "video art installation piece" that was just a close up of someone mixing cake mixture in a bowl.
The worst thing at the Tate Modern at the moment is that f*cking glass of water on a high shelf that the artist claims is actually an oak tree.
Both the length and girth evoke a startling post-modern paranoia with a woodberry compote of claustrophobia, creating a visceral experienced, referencing reinvention in a Berlin brothel.
Sorry, I have just disappeared up my own @rse.
