I wish I had been there. This will be his Chris Burden moment. That will in video look uninteresting, but will resonate and define his work. Awesome. I wish I had been there.

I was worried that you were going to give this senseless act of destruction more weight than it deserves. Yes the rest of the show was filled with modest painting and sculpture. Fine words for just a modest showing of some well known artists. So Adrian Parsons has his artistic merit badge now. There it is hanging on the wall, every one knows his name now.

It wasen't thought through as we see by his statement at the end. "...the holes too small." It seemed like it was scarification for scarification's sake. For others in that realm like Franco B that manage to create a atmosphere and interest in what they perform this guy should be taking tips. I'm also left pondering what the point is? Is there some sort of queer theory at work against a stereotype gay persona? Blah. The actual performance of that was laughable.
