Deviousness |
this one sold quite a few times at the exhibition i had about a year ago ..
so your title is perfect.
i once read of a performance artist, installed at the Irish Museum of Modern Art (or whatever it's called, out in Kilmainham). i think she was naked (although this detail may just be my fevered imagination), but next to her was an array of items, such as feathers, string, chains, ropes, whips and so on, with an invitation that the audience could use anything they wanted on her, as the 'art' was the interaction between object and flesh.
a few of the art-loving attendees took the opportunity to beat her so badly that the 'art' had to be removed from the exhibition space before they killed her.
i really admire people who can put so much faith in human nature .. particularly considering "human nature being what it is", as Thucydides said.
