Dear Ann and other FLUXHEADS
I really wish that column of liposuctioned human fat had been mounted on a
Disney animatronics real steel armature so that it could thrash wildly at
the exertion of the merest eye-pressure of each 2,000
yen-entry-fee-paying-guest. That would be worth crowing about!
Perhaps (because a high percentage of that fat was probably the result of
ingesting some form of MacDonalds product) the column could be given a
cybervoice so that it could warble the Golden Arches Theme in the language
of your choice!
Don't think this masterpiece was created by Japanese in Japan. I'm still
playing connect-the-dots with the catalogue.
Hmmm. Medical waste: There was a fellow about 20 years ago tying human
fetuses to dynamite sticks, blowing them up and calling it art. (that was
in the usa)(what was his name?)
There was also that artist--Alex Grey--I believe--who had intercourse with a
dead lady while his wife documented the action by taking phtographs. Later
Mr. Grey had nightmares about being in a courtroom with the ghost of the
woman whose body he had violated after death screaming "how dare you do this
to me!" Mr. Grey also hung a corpse upside down by one leg and suspended
himself at the same time. All in an old High Performance. Does anyone out
there recall these things?
Can anyone suggest a good Performance Art Magazine to take a look at? High
Performance has gone the way of community art. I want to get back to those
good old Lone Ranger Days, when Performance Artists mangled themselves, shit
on chairs, dressed like chickens, had themselves burnt or shot, violated
corpses, disrespected the aged, and generally flaunted their psychoses and
bad taste. Which magazine(s) do you recommend?
