In Reply to: David Blaine(London)What do you think of the British crowds? posted by croft on September 22, 2003 at 09:18:59:
croft,Blaine's style of public event is akin to any other kind of performance art- any action put in an event context that creates a response. And in the world of performance art, provoking a crowd reaction is a necessary part of the "work".
There is also that almost irresistable infantile urge to tap a fish bowl to get a reaction from the fish- to become part of the scene. But the public reaction verging on violence seems overly harsh and may partly be the English reaction to the perception of pure publicity seeking.
Blaine put himself inside a large block of ice in NYC and also stood for days on a pole, so he seems to be reviving the thrill stunts of the 20's: flagpole sitting, "hunger artists", wing walkers.
Personally, I would save the eggs for the ugly blob of the Millenium Dome and the idiotic Wheel.
