Fake mental case

Post Reply New Topic

When I first heard that the doctor told the art student to "get a hair cut" I thought he was being offensive, but as soon as I read the story I understand how his staff were being abused. What do you think of this case ?

Some of these "artists" really need to get a life. There was the guy who placed black painted boxes labeled FEAR around Grand Central Station on 9/11/2002 and caused a bomb scare and the evacuation of the terminal. He claimed he wanted to comment on the pervasive fear in the city in the wake of the attacks. One guy arranged wooden triangles on a hillside at his university as a sculpture, but the gardening crews gathered them up and threw them away before his work could be graded. One guy put a dead cat in a container of antifreeze, and the cat absorbed the antifreeze and exploded. My favorite was the San Francisco art students who performed oral sex on each other as a work of "performance art". But this particular case has to be one of the worst I've heard of. By the way, I take Haloperidol in pill form for my Tourettes, and I have few if any side effects.

Grrr .....I have had contact with these types....

Thinking about them makes my head swirl. I will try to talk about it later.

That's like Munchausens except they aren't doing it to gain sympathy but are they doing it for attention? If so, it's like MS.

I have a great dislike of such "art" to me it is not art it is just being nasty.

i think the woman must have something wrong with her for thinking what she did was a work of art and also that she'd get away with it, i hope the crimes she comitted are enough to get her sent to prison at least for a short while.

art demands sacrifice. these cry-baby arguments that genuine patients were kept waiting would be applicable if she did it for no reason at all, but there is obviously some idea behind this performance, or else konstfack wouldn't have approved it. besides, an artist doesnt have to answer to anyone

depending where she goes with it, it might be good or bad art, but personal attacks like those of that doctor are just ridiculous and immature

come on its not in any way analogous to murdering people, those two are not even in the same ballpark. and if she hadn't admitted to faking it, she would never have been prosecuted at all. the only thing that makes her a "criminal" is her own admission, not her actions.

she needs to be given a medal and a ten thousad dollar grant. even if you think its "wrong" its still pretty much the most exciting thing to happen in the world of art since tracey emins unmade bed

she's suffering already she'll have to pay fines and suffer the slings and arrows of self-appointed moral guardians(but then again who cares about those)

the difference between this and your burglary scenario is that her actions weren't criminal, only her reason for performing them were. its doesnt matter why you break into a house, its a crime in any case. thats the interesting aspect of this. the action is decidedly non-criminal, but the motivation is. i hope she reflects on that in her project

spitting in someone's face is a form of assault, the woman spat in the faces of those trying to restarin her and so she commited assault, she also disturbed the peace which is also a crime.

her actions were criminal and if anyone else did what she did it would be criminal, if she did what she did outside of her 'project' it would be criminal and if there was nothing to do with psychiatry it would still be criminal.
