Modernism II

I have said before, and will again that I just cannot understand the point of some modern art. However this does not mean that I feel that it is all pretentious trivia - this honour goes to the wonderful world of student performance art. The most striking example of this that I can recall involved a shopping centre in Portsmouth - which personally I would not have chosen as a venue because of all the Jolly Jack Tars in the town and the Senior Service (Royal Navy to you who are lacking education) are rather conservative in their outlook and I don't really believe that the Admiralty are quite ready to embrace anything other than the works such as The Fighting Temarare or Nelson dying on the Victory.
Anyway, back to the plot, this performance consisted of the perpetrators claiming to be various items of bathroom furniture and fittings - "I'm a lavatory - come and flush me", pretentious, pointless and reminiscent of Dick and Dom in the Sh*t or whatever it was called.
