People pay money for this stuff; mainly liberal art patrons

News of the Weird from Chuck Shepherd

Simon Pope's "Gallery Space Recall" exhibit at the Chapter Arts Centre in Cardiff, Wales, in October is a startlingly empty room, with patrons called upon to supply the art by imagining another art show they have seen so that, wrote Pope, the two exhibits "exist at two locations simultaneously, both here and there." (Pope wrote that the exhibit suggested the brain-injury disorder "reduplicative paramnesia," in which a person has a delusional belief that something exists at two places at once.)

This is totally nonsensical, which I normally would appreciate; but it's nonsensical in a totally liberal-minded sorta way, which means it's actually assinine. This whole concept is ridiculous, but what's really bad is the bathroom in this place, or loo as they call it in the UK. The loo is also a startingly empty room, and what you need to do is imagine a really good dump or whiz that you've had in the past; then, if you have reduplicative poopeeamnesia, you can believe that you're actually dumping or whizzing in two places at once.
