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?

Outdoor artWhen i was doing my art GCSE, i participated in an art event at a local country park, where artists were invited to make pieces of outdoor art for a new wetlands section. I created a plant sculpture out of hosepipes and sharp copper 'swords' (i am sure someone ended up impailed on those dangerous leaves). I expected the grand opening to be a night of arty-farty schmoozing, with champaign and photos with the mayor. What i didn't expect to be doing was walking around the park all night in a procession of hippies, saying 'hello' to all the plants and trees, chanting and banging a drum. Utter new-age bollocks.
