Performance artist doesn’t notice that husband suffocates to death as she performs her piece.

There used to be a comedian whose act involved things like smashing a watermelon with a sledge hammer. People in the first few rows either wore raincoats or got covered in smashed fruit.

I had no idea that crazy guy was actually a ‘performance artist’…

Gallagher = clownish comic. Try The Kipper Kids or Dancenoise for actual performance art.

“Uh, everything’s getting hazy. Is that supposed to happen?”.“Yes, all part of the art.”

This arc reminds me of the one minute of a Yanni concert I saw on PBS.

“Your wife’s a genius” – but not in the Wile E. Coyote way.

Ummm….he’s gonna suffocate under that thing.

If I were Mike, I’d run out about now. The plastic covering can’t bode well for him.

Mike doesn’t really have to worry unless they try to tie him inside the plastic.

Mfrs. warning: do not use this product in performance art or New Age music concerts.

That “chair” that Mike is seated on looks a lot like a human body tied up in a sheet. Could that be one of the “participatory” elements of JJ’s art?

I wonder if the piece is titled “Death by Dutch Oven”?

I always heard that genius was next to insanity, when did JR cross the line?

Is that J.J. tied up in the sheet?
