given what happened to Marina Abramovic with Rhythm O, she's very brave to sit still with a possible weapon that she's allowed audience members to use against her person...

Very brave of her to bare her bod at that age - shows that she is confident in the knowledge of how beautiful she still is :)

I do check recent posts of Yoko's "cut piece" .

In hopes that someone has stabbed her in the throat.

@PumpkinPuffer - Generally, expressing murderous impulses is a sign that one should be seeking professional help or an institution.

@utubeleplague I'd feel better if I cut her heart out.

@PumpkinPuffer is it healthy to you to wish someone's harm so hard? feeling better after it?

[PumpkinPuffer]

Talentless liberal hippie garbage. Someone should have taken the scissors and stabbed her in the heart.
