I went to see Pop Life at the Tate last week. It was about artists whose life is indistinguishable from art, people who transform their own personal lives in a art performance.

Art is not an activity that happens in an art gallery or a studio, it's a code to read the Reality and to be able to transform it.
Very few people is able to make sense of it, it implies a difficult compromise, intelligence, talent and commitment. But some of them do, like the ones in the video bellow.

PS. Every time I find more parallelisms between Art and Humor. Bill Hicks, Wes Anderson and Monty Python are now listed among my favorite contemporary artists; Duchamp, Hirst, the Chapman Brothers, among my favorite comedians. The creative process is the same, the format of the output differs slightly but the goal is shared: to break the logical flow of normality for an instant, opening the gates for crude love, knowledge and imagination, naked in front of our eyes *.


*As Graham Chapman did in The Life of Bryan.
