Art or Tomato Abuse?

Another visit to 798 blah blah. This time went to a British art gallery opening.

Here's a cool display, the letters are all airport codes. Being ex-airline industry, I can recognize most of them. CTU = Chengdu; FOC = Fuzhou. Anyway here's a website I always used to use to decode.


The highlight of the gallery was this super-weird performance art involving tomatoes! Here the artist is facing the wall throwing tomatoes. Yes he stood there bouncing the red veggies off the wall while his partner was blending them into juice. Then he would pour the juice all over the head of Van Gogh!


Handstand time, note the video also stars tomatoes.


Pouring fresh tomato juice all over his pants...room smelled like V8 juice.


Tortured artist drenched in tomato juice then starts crawling around on the floor of the gallery! Is this art or tomato abuse?
