I think most of it to be a practical joke on the viewer. I went to a showing at the Art Institute of Chicago. They were showing a film of Veruscha standing naked before an object and being bodypainted to match the backround, thereby being camoflaged and unnoticable. ART ?? More like practical joke that someone would actually pay to see such a thing.... But if the same things appealed to all, what a dull, boring world it would be. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Try FREE Yahoo!
