Franco Faces Abramović At MoMA

The latest famous face to sit in front of Marina Abramović at MoMA was none other than James Franco, who got up bright n' early this morning to be first in line to sit across from the performance artist. (Though we're guessing that celebrities get to cut the line—we hear Hans Gruber was first yesterday.) Wonder if Franco lasted longer than Lou Reed's 9 minutes...

Is this artsy fartsy speed dating?

Yes... The celebrities do cut the line. I was the FIRST person on Sunday and I ended up 6th in line because of the VIP-types... Alan Rickman actually sat first on Sunday.

The question is neither is it art or is it good. It's -- did it make you think? Did it make you think about something you don't normally think about? Does this stay with you longer than you anticipated it would? Those are the relevant questions.

Just like graffiti, The question isn't "is it art?"

the question is "Is it good?"

I looked at her face from the sidelines and she had this zoned-out zombie look in her eyes- she wasnt really 'looking' at anything, and if that is what the piece is, then it isn't anything.
