Given the posts about Modern "Art", such as the artist who created the
tampon wedding dress and is planning to distribute heroin as an art project,
the asg'ers are asked to create their own art exhibits. Remember, give your
creation a catchy title.

For example, my project will consist of myself sitting in an empty room by
myself watching TV 24 hours a day and will be titled "Modern Man Sucking At
The Electronic Teat". God, I hope I get generous arts funding!

Along the same line...

If I'm not mistaken, I believe that someone did display a pile of dirty
underwear as artwork. It might have even been one of the nominations for
Britian's infamous Turner Prize

Unfortunately some of the best project ideas are already taken -- my
favorite was the guy who smeared the inside of a plastic baby bathtub with
Vaseline. Janitors accidentally threw it out of the exhibit because they
thought it was trash. IIRC the artist got big chunk of $$$$ to compensate
him for the loss of his "art".

In a moment of deep existential despair, "Ed" <edon...@comcast.net>
screamed the following heavenward at a remote and unjust God:

Years ago, I had my very own piece of modern art on display. I took a
busted television (the color balance was fucked up, and the picture
would only show itself in magenta & green), and set it on my window
sill, screen facing outward, so the people at the bus stop below could
watch it when they looked up--I was on the second floor, overlooking a
busy intersection. I then hung a sign that said "Air Conditioning" on
it.

I want to perform a piece of performance art. I will need a
$1,000,000 grant from the goverment to achieve this. I will call my
opus "How Fast Can Leigh Spend One Million Dollars?"
