I've only just discovered this WSJ video of my darling Franco with performance artist Marina Abramovic, who I saw at MoMA last year while I was on holidays in New York. I found a few of Abramovic's performances, which were re-enacted at the gallery by younger models and actors, quite confronting, but I appreciate her message and the intention of the work nonetheless. I think Franco sums up performance art quite nicely when he wrote, "Performance art can seem pretentious, but it can also be quite mischievous and playful." Oh, Franco...
