Nick was taking questions from the floor, and at one point a girl asked whether he would ask PJ Harvey to join him onstage if she were present in the theatre. Harvey, seated in a box to the left of the stage, gave Cave a wave, and he said he’d love her to sing but only if she wanted to. “If it was the other way round, I’d be mortified,” he said, and snapped back at one fan who requested that they “play ‘Fleeting Love’” with a sharp “you’re a funny cunt”. Harvey, wearing a shimmering black dress, appeared on the stage and went on to sing ‘Henry Lee’ with Cave, accompanied by Warren Ellis and Martin Casey on bass.

“This piece was primarily a trust exercise, in which she told viewers she would not move for six hours no matter what they did to her. She placed 72 objects one could use in pleasing or destructive ways, ranging from flowers and a feather boa to a knife and a loaded pistol, on a table near her and invited the viewers to use them on her however they wanted.
Initially, Abramović said, viewers were peaceful and timid, but it escalated to violence quickly. “The experience I learned was that … if you leave decision to the public, you can be killed… I felt really violated: they cut my clothes, stuck rose thorns in my stomach, one person aimed the gun at my head, and another took it away. It created an aggressive atmosphere. After exactly 6 hours, as planned, I stood up and started walking toward the public. Everyone ran away, escaping an actual confrontation.”
This piece revealed something terrible about humanity, similar to what Philip Zimbardo’s Stanford Prison Experiment or Stanley Milgram’s Obedience Experiment, both of which also proved how readily people will harm one another under unusual circumstances.”
This performance showed just how easy it is to dehumanize a person who doesn’t fight back, and is particularly powerful because it defies what we think we know about ourselves. I’m certain the no one reading this believes the people around him/her capable of doing such things to another human being, but this performance proves otherwise.”

this is why performance art is important

So every single person who told me ‘ignore them they’ll go away’ and ‘you can’t let them know they bothered you’ and ‘They’ll stop if they don’t see you react’ and all that bull shit, my entire school career, I want you to look good and hard at this.
I want you to think about what you said.
What you keep saying.
What you are telling your children.
You are making them powerless.

that last comment. actually crying.

Dang, where is this?

they’re found all over the place in the adirondacks. It’s pretty dope.

This one is not like those. This one is from a state park in PA I think.

I can’t even begin to describe my morning. I’ve been whistling all the way home like a kid at Disneyland! For four years - even before I was into photography - I’ve been leaving my house at 3am hoping for these conditions as the sun rises on Evans. It was worth the wait! So stoked!

Just a pool, disguised as a pond, with a trampoline instead of a diving board.
I wrote a paper about these kinds of pools several years ago for a class when they were just prototypes. These pools have a natural filtration system that run based on the plants that are in the pool that give the water nutrients that allow it to not only be crystal clear, but you are also able to drink the water because it becomes so clean. And the best part is that once the initial filtration system is installed and calibrated, it maintains itself and eliminates the need for chlorine or constant maintenance like salt water pools.

This crew looks like they packed a lot of stuff for their camping trip, but did they make sure to bring along these essential items for keeping cool at the campsite? We hope so!
