purposefully stared at
What purpose? Was he trying to conjure art upon it by sheer force of will?
Or is he just bullshitting and he got some piece of paper the day before he was supposed to submit his piece and send it in blank?
todays artists continue to be grossly misunderstood it appears

His labor, to use his own words, is his way to “bring all of who you are to the experience.” Friedman shares his labor, allows the slow, deliberate pace of his work born in the studio to penetrate the museum. Nothing seems effortless, or a gesture, the labor is apparent, displayed, and tangible. He gives us the labor, the personal investment in the physical that saved art for him, that divorced the work from the language he cites as a factor of alienation. When we see his work we do not see words, we see acts, we see objects. He has forced the studio as workspace into the exhibition space, as he stuffs hundreds of more hours of labor into his shows with each new piece, filling the space with material and labor, material and labor – his involvement, his investment, is his gift to us as the viewers, as he introduces the laborious and contemplative pace he feels belongs to the museum.

The materials are identified in a wall label as "Stare on paper." Having spent 1,000 hours staring at this sheet, Friedman now encourages the viewer to think about why such an act might be interesting. The label also raises the question of whether his stare has actually altered the paper, or one's perception of it, in the same way that "watercolor on paper" would.

My image and work have been consumed, contemplated and commented on by millions across the globe
Over the course of the month I sat with the steady rhythm of the knitting needles and of my body and created a work that I have complete confidence in, a confidence that thousands of internet opinions have not dinted.

I guess he reports on performance art (which all seems to be SJW) mainly or artists doing / saying stupid things.

Criticism is so alien and unnatural and shouldn't exist to people that you're so brave for facing it.

@boomzilla I'd imagine that museums these days aren't very excited about hosting contemporary Marina Abramovics
Really, her whole list of works is pretty out there

@bb36e I don't believe a audience member held the gun to her head. Bullllllllshit.

@blakeyrat at least the photos seem to support it (apparently someone put it in her hand and tried to get her to pull the trigger) -- either way, given the crazy shit she's done I would not be surprised

@bb36e A plant she hired, maybe. Not a random attendee.

In the video Waste Warrior Eats Apple, the protagonist (a ‘waste warrior’) attempts to consume an apple grown from petroleum products, having evolved out of a waste-induced Saskatchewan apocalypse. Eating an apple has long stood for female inadequacy – Eve’s original sin, the golden apple of coveted perpetual youth, the envy-inspired poisoning of young Snow White. But this warrior projects forward with an act of forced evolution, attempting to sustain herself on the very source of both female and human destruction.

I present Frank Ryan: http://www.artzone461.com/ryan/frank-s.html
I seek to undermine the delineation of the human subject from the spaces it inhabits. The living body is never static and cannot exist independently from its environment. Against the stability of urban architectural space, the body is in a constant state of flux. Yet it is often the assumption that the body is a privileged form by comparison.

Metro stations in Brussels are often showing art, Maalbeek metro station being no different. After the 22/3/2016 (or 3/22/2016 for people who don't know how to order their dates right) the biggest part of the existing art work could be saved.
Yesterday the artist added an 'olive tree' ...

Work of art "explodes" due to the heat
Something has gone wrong with an installation by the artist Dennis Tyfus in Antwerp's M HKA museum. His work got damaged as vacuum bags filled with animal fat actually "exploded".
It sure was hot the last days ...

Real art doesn't need installation instructions.

@Luhmann said in contemporary misunderstood artists:
vacuum bags filled with animal fat
Huh oh, if artists decide that pieces of meat are artistic, next thing they'll start throwing various animal fluids at you as part of "the art experience", and at this point museums will have to start passing health and safety inspections.

@anonymous234 You don't really want to know about feminist art, then.

Alien Thinking: The Conceptual Space Art of Jonathon Keats

He projects hubble space telescope images onto photosynthetic bacteria.
