Hell Of A Hero For A Bear

[lupestripe]

Looks like there's a fursuiting entry in this year's Turner Prize - with Mark Wallinger's Sleeper being a portrayal of 10 nights alone in a German art gallery in a bear suit. I don't know what it's meant to signify and I'm sure after day two it would make very dull viewing but I'll be rooting for him nonetheless.

Hard To Bear

In other news: My tickets for the Hell Is For Heroes gig next Thursday came today. Seeing them has made me all excited and I can't wait for the gig - particularly as I also get £1 off a bottle of Fosters before 7pm. Not that I'm likely to get there before then but hey, I can but try. The gig itself is going to be amazing though - I've wanted to see them for so long and it's just luck that I noticed that they are touring now. I really can't wait :)

I also get £2 off entry to The Garage whatever that is. However it's only for the hours between 11pm and 3am and as it's often free to park your car at that point I probably won't take them up on the offer.

I bet there are parts of that entry that where not documented. Fapp fapping in the art gallery over a statue where one of them.

Apparently he was getting up to all sort of antics not dissimilar to what you see real bears and other animals get up to in zoos.

According to Metro it was "...a performance where he dressed in a bear suit and spent ten nights alone...Outside this huge glass box of a building small crowds would gather to watch his lonely antics, which, like real bears in a zoo, were often more disturbing than entertaining".

I don't know what that last comment means but the only picture I can find is of him standing up in it so I can't work out what these antics would be.

I imagine it would be quite pleasant spending a night in an art gallery, nice and quiet. Though it would be a lot less fun if he has to stay in one place all the time, otherwise it could be fun.

I think he could move - he was performing for people. I could do that - spend 10 nights alone in an art gallery dressed in a fursuit. I might even win the Turner Prize :)

why don't we all fit in, it might have room for 200+ fursuiters fit in that place, just wondering around, say hello and so on, that could make that into turners prize... that was my idea!

Now that would be amazing - that'd definitely win the Turner Prize. Thing is why should this guy win it for something we all do so often and so readily. Grrr. World not fair :(
