untitled1-jpg: the-lucky-ones-7: thebestworstidea: resilientkate: softgore: “This piece was primarily a trust exercise, in which she told viewers she would not move for six hours no matter what they did to her.  She placed 72 objects one could use in pleasing or destructive ways, ranging from flowers and a feather boa to a knife and a loaded pistol, on a table near her and invited the viewers to use them on her however they wanted.  Initially, Abramović said, viewers were peaceful and timid, but it escalated to violence quickly.  “The experience I learned was that … if you leave decision to the public, you can be killed… I felt really violated: they cut my clothes, stuck rose thorns in my stomach, one person aimed the gun at my head, and another took it away. It created an aggressive atmosphere. After exactly 6 hours, as planned, I stood up and started walking toward the public. Everyone ran away, escaping an actual confrontation.” This piece revealed something terrible about humanity, similar to what Philip Zimbardo’s Stanford Prison Experiment or Stanley Milgram’s Obedience Experiment, both of which also proved how readily people will harm one another under unusual circumstances.” This performance showed just how easy it is to dehumanize a person who doesn’t fight back, and is particularly powerful because it defies what we think we know about ourselves. I’m certain the no one reading this believes the people around him/her capable of doing such things to another human being, but this performance proves otherwise.” this is why performance art is important So every single person who told me ‘ignore them they’ll go away’ and ‘you can’t let them know they bothered you’ and ‘They’ll stop if they don’t see you react’ and all that bull shit, my entire school career, I want you to look good and hard at this. I want you to think about what you said. What you keep saying. What you are telling your children. You are making them powerless. I love this artist to much. i usually don’t like performance art but this is actually interesting

wo1verines: despitemycreativity: wo1verines: there is more truth on bathroom walls and stalls than there are in people sometimes …who’s got the money, who’s got the hotties, whose kinda cute and whose just a mess. Dude. Those are song lyrics. i am not a dude or your “dude” and trust me i am completely aware these are bowling for soup lyrics, dude.

szemet: systemofadowny: hornbread: itisneverlupus: neither: 1800psychedelic: ‘Why would you want tattoos and crap they’re gonna look gross when you’re older’ damn punk since 1950 I really don’t think you understand the amount of would right now. Always reblogging this old ass, dapper motherfuck. they look good on him when he’s older but not everyone will look good when older  Who gives a fuck. Tattoos are about meaning and memories. NO ONE looks good when they’re old. I’m gonna look gross when I’m old and saggy, I’d rather have interesting and meaningful tattoos on my body to give me constant happiness and remind me of my past when I see them.
