I went to art school with a lot of these "look at me" types. The best thing to do is just ignore them. They want you talking about them, even in a negative way.

As an artist & one who studied art, I think this is ridiculous. And as an artist I hate this
type of BS.....what's next? Sitting on a toilet moving your bowels...ooops sorry people
have done that. If you call this art, I call this sophomoric attention seeking drivel.
I just thought of a magnificent piece to exhibit at MOMA.....a tampon in a birdcage.

The whole "bowel thing" has already been played out in the art world. Manzoni made canned **** as "art" in the 1960's. Deuchamp made headlines using a urinal as an art piece in 1917, there are other examples but that's just from the top of my head. Shock Art and Dada are old news, but at least they evoked some reaction. But watching a douchebag take a nap? Not so much.
Art is what museums and galleries say it is and what people pay immense sums for. Nothing more, nothing less.
And it applies equally to Leonardo as to Warhol (who filmed only the face of a man getting a blowjob.)

I have the feeling people won't shelling out cash to see someone taking a nap for very long. Art must be entertaining in some way to make patrons *want* to see it. If I wanted to see someone take nap I can have that for free, and I get to tickle the napper's feet.
You are sensible without millions in disposable income.
Others not so much in sense, but billions to inflate the art market.
What can I say, the world is run to suit the glitterati.
Imagine what "hobbies" you might develop with a billion in net worth.
