German artist Gregor Schneider plans on having someone die in his next exhibit. What!?
Okay, I'd thought I had heard of every kind of gimmick proclaimed as "art."
I was wrong.
It seems that German artist Gregor Schneider has decided that his next exhibit at the Haus Lange museum in Krefeld, Germany will have a person literally dying for it. Yep, that's right; the exhibit will be of a real person dying in front of a live audience.
Many artists, including Schneider, say that death is beautiful and should be celebrated. While this may be true, let's be honest. This is just a controversy brewed to boost Schneider into the spotlight.
Many people, including myself have started crying "boo" to this selfish and exploitative way to promote your career as an artist.
