You had to be more than a little open-minded to attend London’s Act Art, an event where over 100 creatives displayed their way out there installations, paintings, videos, and skits. It is purposefully shocking and exceptionally hardcore performance art--to the extent that you may find yourself questioning if this is all serious or just some kind of setup.
For example: Dressed only in a white wig and shoes, Coralee Lynn Rose held a blue dildo and invited the audience to decorate her naked body. Bizarre, indeed.
