Vomit Artist Millie Brown

Apply moonbattery to politics and you get President Barack Hussein Obama. Apply it to art and you get Millie Brown:

LiveStudio saw the marriage of music and performance art in the form of Nexus Vomitus, a collaboration between vomiting artist Millie Brown and opera singers Patricia Hammond and Zita Syme. During the one-off performance piece, Millie created a rainbow-like spectrum of vomit on canvas to Patricia and Zita's melodic interlude.
Millie shares the secrets of her art:

"I drink coloured milk — the process is not painful but after several hours of vomiting it can take its toll, which is why I limit the number of colours I use. … The use of canvas is a natural progression from my early performances. I started puking down myself in various outfits, but wanted more longevity from the end result."

That's almost as artful as that girl who liked to pee during her dance recitals.

Liberals are so classy.

Nothing says "art" like a dangerous eating disorder!

If the whole thing was to mock what art has become, I would consider what she did to be brilliant satire.  Of course, it wasn't.  This is what she does. 

The art world is a perfect representation of what happens when the far left is totally in charge.  The Mona Lisa, and vomit on a canvas, are both equally valid.  Performance art is a synonym for shit.

I took an art class in college, and it was taught by a performance artist.  Half of the class was about applying for grants.  Art isn't about talent anymore.  Any fool can spaz out in an interpretive dance, or do an "installation."  As long as your message is correct, you win.

I love art.  I hope everyone here does as well.  The whole thing has been corrupted by easy money.  That is why government funding for art must stop.

Some 25+ years ago I was astounded to be walking down the Kurfürstendamm in West Berlin and literally saw a pile of shopping carts on the street.

This wasn't a regular pile of shopping carts. Each cart was about 6 times the conventional size. And about a dozen of 'em were piled together like one enormous pile of shopping cart shit.

I discovered later that day that said pile of shopping cart shirt was paid for by the taxpayers of West Germany.

That's the direction we're headed in, it would seem.

I don't know much about visual art, but I do know that there is just as much visual shit that calls itself art as there is shit -- maybe more.
