Chris Burden "Shoot"

It fits, great video, but too intelligent for that time...were we live in.

this is art ppl get wit it

What is it with "artists" and a blatant disregard for firearm safety?

thank you so much. Burden has been a curious fascination for me for a couple years now, ever sense i first learned about him in an modern art history class. the idea wasn't that he was just being shot just for the hell of being shot. just like in all of his other works, what is on the surface is being obliterated by the dangerous situations he intentionally creates. nothing stirs emotive qualities then reality itself. its shock art in the truest sense of the meaning.

"It brings up questions not only about what we can call art, but human nature in a broader sense."

Should have aimed a little higher and to the left...lol

i love this

He said it himself, there is no other context supposed to be read in the performance - he simply wanted to know what if feels like to be shot. pathological.

what kinda pictures dose he paint????

yes, art as a rule is recreating reality or entirely false. Its in the dictionary, no mystery whatsoever.
