Attack at Art Show Mistaken for Performance

[Chance]

A stabbing with an X-Acto knife at a gallery showing was mistaken for performance art. Via New York Daily News (http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/woman-stabbed-art-basel-miami-event-article-1.2456264):


A 24-year-old New York woman was arrested after stabbing another woman during a fight at the popular Art Basel show in Miami, prompting at least one patron to think he was watching performance art.

....

The pair had gotten into a fight after the victim confronted Zhao about following her around the celebrity-studded art show and bumping into her several times, the report states.

“I had to kill her and two more,” Zhao told cops as she was arrested.

“I had to watch her bleed.”

....

[A witness reported:]“A guy walked up to me and said, ‘I thought I saw a performance, and I thought it was fake blood, but it was real blood.’”



What sort of performances do they put on in these places?

Apparently, that qualifies as performance art.

In the 70's a performance artist named Chris Burden had himself shot as a performance art piece. Some of his other pieces included being nailed to a car and belly-crawling through broken glass.

Thanks for naming the video, so I could Google it before I watched it. The man's mistake is making much more sense now.

Freak show 101. Such rapt attention. That would be the end of any parental support in place at that time. Audience or "artist" it wouldn't matter. I wonder if any of them vote.
