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?

ley linesmy old stomping grounds of Bristol and Bath are wondrous sources of total wank. One had a nice flyer, but we were subjected to three hours (no interval) of seven actors jumping out phone boxes shouting over each other and stripping off, spazz-inducing light shows, whilst projections of fast-forwarded cityscapes cut with pornography carried on over the top, as screeching german-techno trance of the kind even I can't stomach looped over the top. Three of us were violently sick afterwards due to our migraines.
Best of all though was a decomissioned chapel exhibiting artwork of bleeding vaginas and cellar-based performance pieces of naked people hatching out of paper maché. Fab.
