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?

Art studentsIn the 2nd yr at uni, two girls in our house were on arts degrees. We were invited to their exhibition and politely declined until someone mentioned the free booze.
Upon arrival we found the free booze had gone and we had to witness the cock that they called art. They included a doll in a coffin, a suitcase suspended above A4 sheets of paper that had been nailed to the floor each with random words on, and a framed picture of two straight pencil lines.
However the best was a 10ft square canvas that was painted blue. Confronted with this I pondered and then announced "That's not art, it's decorating!"
A friend of the artist then chipped in haughtily with "Do you know how long that took to get the shade of blue right? There are twelve coats of paint on there."
"So he's shit at decorating as well then?" I replied.
Having offended our housemates entire course we opted for the pub over the road, and decided that the best "work" had been a plaster cast of some womans tits in a box frame. Now thats Art!
