Pretentious bollocksPossibly the worst event I ever went to was an evening of turntablists in London. The lights went down, the first guy put a cymbal onto a turntable, dropped the needle on it and left it making screeching noises for ten minutes.
When the lights came up, half the audience had snuck out.
What's the most pretentious rubbish you've ever been to see in the name of art?

Pretentious wank I saw at collegeincludes:
1. Woman gets best friends to dress up in monkey masks, films them naked and rolling around on cardboard.
2. MA student dons a pair of wellies and thick rimmed glasses. Sits in the corridor for three days talking into a FisherPrice cassette recorder about her childhood memories!
3. An electric guitar left on the stairs with a fan blowing on the strings.
4. Girl who carefully painted over glossy magazines, I mean she just reproduced the pics and articles in oil paint!
5. Countless self-portrait, photography and body piercing ventures. Models were never actually fit.
6. A Tracy Emin lecture….
I’m sure there’s more, I’m getting wound up just thinking about it!
