‘Dances with Wolves’ it ain’t…
After pickled sheep, unmade beds and painting with elephant dung, some questioned where modern art could go next.
Kira O’Reilly will provide her own answer today by spending four hours naked, hugging a dead pig - at the taxpayer’s expense.
The controversial Irish performance artist will invite one person at a time to watch her sit in a specially-constructed set and perform a ‘crushing slow dance’ with the carcass in her arms.
She claims the bizarre exhibition is an attempt to ‘identify’ with the pig, which she cuts with a knife during the show.
How frightfully daring…: ‘Sleeping with pigs.’
Okay, it is slightly less revolting than that movie, ‘Dances with Wolves‘ but still.
Kira, Kira, Kira… Was killing and stripping and, in a sense, fucking with a real policeman truly too much to ask for…?
Ah well: young artists these days. They just don’t have the guts to go for glory anymore.
