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?

The mood roomMy cousins an artist so I can'y really have anything against them, however some of the people that show up to look at his work .... that's another story.
Being an engineer I got asked by one particularly strange man if I could explain how one "piece" worked.
Apparently you walk into this room and the lights in change colour to match your mood i.e. red if you are feeling in a warm mood like angry or in love, yellow if you are feeling relaxed or some gonads like that.
All he could go on and on about was the brilliance of the artist that created this bloody room.
Only after I suggested that the room changing colour might in fact be affecting his mood and there was nothing more too it did he realise that the artist was in fact mindfucking him.
He was wearing a cravat, had small round glasses and a beret.
