So today in Contemporary art we learned about Chris Burden, who crucified himself to a beetle. With actual nails through his hands!!! Also he had his friend shoot him in the arm.

Just thought I'd share.

EDIT: I would of at least picked a better car, any others feel the same way? Seeing how it took place in '71, I'm thinking a Dodge Daytona wing would have been better.

Cocaine's a helluva drug.

He's not an artist, just a retard.

What art school do you go to?

His later work was more thought out and less "shock and awe" to his credit.

Can't comment on the cocaine though ... your probably right, it was the early 70's.

College for Creative Studies, in Detroit. Last year here, loved it so far.

you need to cite something other than these two for me to agree. Aside from the self destructive, this is called...a weekend with my brothers.

Apparently to show that artists have to much power, he made a gallery take out a million dollar for his installation. He then bought bold bricks with it and put them in the gallery.

I hope no 914's were harmed in the making of this art.
