So, the thing about this is: yeah. “Art pieces,” especially “art pieces” involving Marina Abramovic (last seen in Jay Z’s “Picasso Baby” music video), but ESPECIALLY “art pieces” involving Marina Abramovic practicing the Abramovic Method, “a series of exercises designed to heighten participants’ awareness of their physical and mental experience in the present moment,” are already so unknowingly ridiculous that there’s not much to else add, except, “Yeah.”
Lady Gaga hums something that’s slightly more catchy than “Aura,” wears Pikachu ears, hugs a crystal, and surrounds herself with a block of ice in the nude, all in the name of “art.” Have we been misreading the title of Gaga’s next album, ARTPOP? Maybe she’s going pop art in the back of the head with a .22. Quick and easy, don’t want to make art suffer anymore than it already has.
