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?

Glasgow. 1998-ish.I think they were called 'Fura del Baus' or something. The 'performance' was in a warehouse-type place, with an open walk-around set. The idea was to wander around the venue watching a bunch of half naked people, possibly of Portuguese origin, climbing on scaffolding and throwing dead chickens. I believe that the climax of the piece was when one of the 'actors' had chicken guts thrown over him.
Pretentious Euro-crap the lot of it.
