Vital 5<\/a>‘s Arbitrary Art Grant<\/i><\/a> ($500) in the performance art category went to somebody who showed up to check it out.<\/p>\n

From Dino Martini<\/a>, gallery dealer on the scene:<\/p>\n

Many, many people driving or walking by of course believed it was a “real” protest against performance art… In the end, a protester by the name of Garrett Hobba<\/a> took the prize of $500 in $5 dollar bills. He showed up to see
\nwhat the situation was and ended up winning. (Vital 5’s) Greg (Lundgren) let his intern pick by using a rifles scope (minus the rifle) from across the street. Whoever she pointed
\nat first won. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Lundgren sent the images below. Only in an arbitrary world would Hobba, a musician, top these visual artists in their own game. No wonder they’re protesting. No justice, no peace. Click to enlarge.<\/p>\n

In the photo immediately above, FlatChestedMama<\/a> restages Halprin and Mark, proving that something can come from nothing.<\/p>\n

Mark’s Web site here<\/a>. Her version of pointlessly rousing the rabble came equipped with blank slogans:<\/p>\n

What do we want… NOTHING!!!
When do we want it… NOW!!!”
Hell No…We Don’t Know.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
