Performances I wasn't around for...

In the Jan Fabre's performance It Is Kill Or Cure, he positioned himself in front of six journalist, each with a loaded gun and invited them to shoot at him. The performance was part of a installation that featured a drilled through coin with John F. Kennedy on it.

Invitation to It Is Kill Or Cure.

Yes, I'm aware you can crop images, I just like the side of the book scan... I also like scanning.

In Chris Burden's Shoot he and a friend walked into a gallery that he had invited guest into, his friend then walked about fifteen feet from Chris, pulled out a .22 rifle and shot Chris in the arm.

When asked why he did this piece he responded "I wanted to be taken seriously as an artist".

Alex Grey's Meditations On Mortality began in a dark room with the sounds of monks chanting. Alex covered in black body grease and his wife Allyson covered in white body grease walk onto a large ying-yang positioned on the floor. Alex sitting opposite of a white skeleton, Allyson lit twelve candles around the circle (in the same place numbers are on a clock). A strobe light started and the two met at the edge of the circle, embraced and the grease on their bodies blended. The strobe light then stopped, the chanting started again, and the two exited the circle.
