Chapter 927: Sacrifice
That day, Xiao Feng called me, and in the small talk, I said that Mr. Wand seemed to be detained, I quickly asked the reason, and she smiled and said: "In the morning, he came to the store to complain to my uncle, saying that he had been kicked out of the house by his parents and started to live at a friend's house, and then his friend quit the rent, and he went to a friend's house in a garage to live temporarily, as if he was a woman." In order to continue to engage in art and also want to open up the situation, he made a work with the female friend, and the two of them ran to the bus company early in the morning, climbed on the roof of a bus that had not yet left, stripped naked and hugged each other, and lay on the roof of the bus, what is it called "Bus". Later, after being discovered by the old lady who was exercising in the morning, she called the police, and was detained for five days, and just released!" I really can't cry or laugh, thinking that this wand is really going to be stunned, who will you detain if you don't detain like this?
"Is this a side effect of the Yin Magic Thorn?" Xiao Feng asked, "Why do I think this Mr. Wands is becoming more and more abnormal?" He also said that when he was in the detention center, he also created two works, one is called "Oppression", which is to make several other men in the detention room strip naked and press on him, and the other is called "Human Relationship", which is to make everyone stripped naked and gather in a circle, and then ...... "Xiao Feng didn't continue, I guess it must be something inappropriate for adults, so he smiled and didn't ask again."
I said, "Don't worry, he's normal, if he doesn't, it's not normal." Didn't you see that day at the Museum of Contemporary Art, there were few normal works performed, and the jumping off the building was not a representative, okay. ”
I was conflicted about this, for Mr. Wand, this kind of performance was commonplace, and it meant that the Yin Spell Talisman was ineffective. With his character, he will definitely go to the Buddha card shop again to complain, and Mr. Feng will also be very depressed at that time.
Two months after I got the news of the wand again. On that day, I saw a news item on a news website, saying that the famous Beijing performance artist Wand had held a press conference at the Museum of Contemporary Art, saying that he would perform an unprecedented "avant-garde work" next week, and I hope everyone will pay attention to it then. A reporter interviewed Wands on the news and asked him if the unprecedented works he was talking about were similar to the controversial Beijing-based performance artist surnamed Zhu, all of which used human bodies, corpses and animals to attract attention.
The wand replied: "Of course not, feeding one's own children to dogs can also be called performance art? That's mental illness! Such people do psychopathic things under the banner of art, and it is they who make the public have a great antipathy towards performance art, and I want to justify performance art." Art is not a violation of social order and good customs, this is in China, if it were put in the United States, that guy would have gone to prison or a mental hospital, but he is still alive and well, this is the sorrow of society, the regression of the legal system!"
During the interview, the wand was very excited, and it can be seen from the pictures in the news that there were many reporters and media at this press conference, and there was a woman standing next to the wand, about thirty or so, with an ordinary appearance. A reporter in the news asked Wand if the upcoming "unprecedented work" would still work with your partner friend Xiaoyu, and Wand shook his head, saying that he didn't want to bother his friends and did it himself. The reporter hurriedly asked why it was called Lian Lian, and the wand smiled but did not answer.
There wasn't much news, and I wondered what the hell was this wand for, and it was obvious that the last time he stripped naked on the top of the bus with a certain lady and finally went to the detention center, it was with this woman named Xiaoyu, that is, the one standing next to him. Since the word "involvement" is used, it is not a good thing to explain it, and it may still be illegal.
The wand mentioned that an artist surnamed Zhu fed a child to a dog, and I immediately became interested and began to search on the Internet. It's easy to find out, it happened seven years ago, in '03, a "performance artist" surnamed Zhu finally found a woman willing to cooperate, paid money and brainwashed in the name of art, and the woman agreed to use artificial insemination to conceive the artist. But four months later, she was taken to the hospital for forced labor induction, found a German black back who had been hungry for most of the day, and ate the fetus in public on the roof of a suburb in Beijing's Tongzhou District, and named it "Sacrifice".
This incident caused a lot of controversy, and many people reported it to the police, demanding that this kind of behavior be severely punished. But there is no law in China that can apply to this matter, and abortion is also legal, and it seems that only one "crime of insulting a corpse" can barely be used, but I don't know why, and in the end, it was also abandoned.
There are many other pictures I have found, all of which were taken by the "artist" surnamed Zhu, just to spread them for others to see, otherwise this performance art will be meaningless. The fetus could be seen to be a distinctly baby girl, with her legs spread and her left hand raised to her mouth, as if she was still sleeping. When I saw the four-month-old baby, I felt unspeakably uncomfortable.
Previously, my performance art in China was just "a bunch of people with nothing to do and no brains doing weird", but when I saw these things, I took my dislike of these self-proclaimed "artists" to a new level. Although the wand is also engaged in performance art, it does not disgust me, after all, his three views are still normal, especially from his evaluation of the "artist" surnamed Zhu. But I'm still worried, what is the unprecedented work he is talking about, and why is he afraid of affecting others?
I couldn't help but call him, saying that I saw the news on the Internet, and asked him what kind of work it was, and I was sure to keep it a secret. The wand asked, "On which website did you see the news, is it very eye-catching?" I said it was NetEase News, not the headlines, but there was a recommendation on the right side, which was not eye-catching.
Wand seemed a little frustrated, saying that after the work was released, it should be able to make headlines, and he was confident. I asked him what kind of work it was, and the wand smiled, singing and saying, "I have a lot of secrets, I won't tell you, I won't tell you, I won't tell you......" Isn't this "Little Dragon Man", which made me so angry that you can't do anything illegal, and you were just detained last time, and no one can help you if you make any demon moths.
"I'm certainly not going to be like that psychopath," Wand replied with a smile, "don't worry." ”
After hanging up the phone, I sat and thought about it, and then began to search the Internet for information about Chinese "performance artists". In addition to the previous "Sacrifice" by the artist surnamed Zhu, I also found several very unusual ones, a middle-aged man and his partner lady stripped naked in a certain room in Songzhuang to do that kind of thing, next to a large banner, with the words "art selling ratio" written on it, and English below, which are the words "art" and "*", and were detained by the police for picking quarrels and provoking trouble; The word seems to be used to satirize certain privileged classes in China.
After reading a few of them, I didn't have a good impression of those who engage in performance art in China, so I stopped paying attention to them.
