"Thought-provoking" performance art such as this goes a long way towards explaining why Bush got elected. Other good examples include: everything Christo's ever done, or this lady's [http://www.lmakprojects.com/artists/emily.htm] endeavor to "address the interstitial systems of both the social and built space-their potentials and failures as psychological and livable space and the individual's ability or disability to act because of the codes that form these spaces" by eating pieces of drywall. It's almost enough to make a person support drilling in ANWR or another poorly conceived military foray in the middle east--anything that might hasten my death, or, better yet, hasten the death of people whose "work rides a boundary between art and life. I place myself on this porous edge, as I place myself into the interstices of buildings and place buildings into my own body" (Id.).
Maybe terrorists should look into lacing drywall with poison? Anything that discourages bad performance art is bound to make people happy, whether they're religious fundamentalists of any stripe (pee-pee Christ, anyone?) or liberals who are sick of a few flaky fucks giving the rest of us a bad name.
Aren't these things supposed to have a point?

This clip brings back the excitement I felt reading C. S. Lewis' novels. I remember bursting "Out of the Silent Planet" passing through the "wardrobe" and quickly dying of boredom in the wilderness beyond.
I enjoyed "Wardrobe, the Movie" in spite of this.
