yeah I don't get it.

bad concept well implemented? I dunno.

anyway, I used to listen too Alvin Lucier a bit, had an album on the Japanese label WrK which I really liked, and you cannot argue with John Cage. hah

used to listen to resonance fm a lot as well, which is an "arts" station.

For some reason it irks me that they wrote "part of the gallery" and not "part of the exhibition"

Well they thought they were being clever and given the state of art world who can blame them for the effort.

True art would be dropping a box of spaghetti into a large water tank, and gradually increasing the temperature to boiling point over the course of the exhibition.

I booked this show in a gallery.. it's a long story but the people running it were a pita.. anyway the exhibit on display were these sculptures made of recycled materials one of which was a stack of used water color trays. At some point one of the performers accidentally clipped the corner of it and it collapsed so I spent a half hour after the show restacking it.. I had no idea how it had been stacked and didn't really feel it mattered because in the end it was a fucking pile of garbage
