There is no way to adequately prepare you for the amount of stupid you’re about to see and read about, so I’m just going to dive right in.
BEHOLD: A “performance artist” performing her art , which involves a naked woman pushing paint-filled eggs out of her vagina onto a blank canvas. I’m not making this up.
The description that goes along with this video is so mind-numbingly pretentious and ridiculous that it seriously made my brain hurt. Just look at this (emphasis mine because OMG):
What the spectators are about to expect, is the compressed birth of a piece of art. Slowly the egg leaves the natal canal of the artist and smashes on the canvas, red colour flows out. The next egg contains another colour and so bit by bit, accompanied only by loud “Plops”, an abstract art work originates — archaically, uncontrollably and intuitively. At the end of this almost meditative art birth performance the stained canvas is folded up, smoothed and unfolded to a symmetrically reflected picture, astonishingly coloured and full of strong because universal symbolism.
The “PlopEgg Painting” itself releases a loose chain of thoughts — about the creation fear, the symbolic strength of the casual and the creative power of the femininity. A comparison to wild associations arises and by the intensity of the seen and experienced, one becomes clear: the art needs like so often the corporeity to be able to manifest itself.
Milo Moire’s performances start with daydreaming, with (every)daily, personal physical experiences which condense by wild associations to an internal whole piece of art about to mature and enter the world. The corporeity becomes the need for her artistic expression to make the happened – also for the spectator – experienceable. Milo Moire describes her art, as an “art led by intuition. To create art, I use THE original source of the femininity — my vagina”.
Milo Moire opens her performance cycle “The PlopEgg Painting Performance # 1 – A Birth of a Picture” on the famous art fair Art Cologne — a place at which the art gets involved in the flirtation with big figures. The hashtag 1 stands for the first Art-Birth-Picture. Other performances should follow worldwide.
Within the context of art (performance), commerce (art fair) and opinion creation (media) a deliberate-accidental creation act happens, which instantly provokes ambivalent interpretations. “In my art i try to create mental doors”, the artist says. And there is always at least one door left to pass through a mirror.”
Don’t you just love how this description tries to make it sound like this is some kind of impressive artistic achievement? She’s ejecting paint eggs out of her hoo-ha, you guys. That’s not art. That’s just stupid, gratuitous nonsense done purely for shock value.
RIDICULOUS.
