Ah, pictures are pictures. What's missing is the rich live-ness of this piece. It was an exhibition of incredible physicality and team work. These guys ran, sometimes sprinting, over 2 miles through downtown Austin, made over 20 sculptures which included inversions that supported sometimes over 300 lbs on top of each other and HOLDING it for over 3 min while the audience walked by. We are lucky to have this guest choreographer Willi Dorner from Austria who has created this work all over the world. It was one of the best live performance art pieces I've ever seen. Congrats Austin, and congrats and thank you to the hard working artists that completed this piece.

Loller. The onlookers expressions in picture #9 capture my thoughts perfectly.

I like it, reminds me of Austrian artist Erwin Wurm

Thank you, Monkster, for having some common fucking sense.

This is pretty stupid, even for Austin standards.

Anything that annoys Loudmouth is A-OK in my book. Seriously, just move back to San Antonio or somehting

oh, LoudMouth. I think this is one of the more interesting things I've seen in awhile. 6 and 18 are awesome! I wish I had seen this live; I would have jogged along behind them to see what they would do next!

This is by far the most retarded thing I've seen in ages. Even worse than the poloroid picture as some sort of artistic photographic statement.
