Death in the Gallery.

April 24, 2008

Now, call me sick, but this really had me chuckling:

“Everything will be done in consultation with the relatives, and the public will watch the death in an appropriately private atmosphere.”

How on earth can you achieve a private atmosphere in a public art gallery? Is that the artisic bit? Because I certainly don’t see anything else in what he’s doing that qualifies as art.

I’ll give it a miss — as a visitor to the “exhibition” and, more to the point, a participant.
