I want to be a cult

I hate performance artists. And their art. It's sort of a general rule of mine, sprouting from years of modern-art cynicism and a steady diet of Doonesbury. But despite my strong bias, I have to admit that every once and a while a group of performance artists grab my attention with something particularly awesome. 'Project Brav New World' is just such a work.

BNW is being performed by a group of experimental artists here at Stanford who wish to answer "a single, vital question: What happens when a Cult of Personality appears around a certain individual, overnight, without His knowing?" To answer this question, they have taken to (what else?) the prominent display of giant, Maoist visages of Vice Provost of Undergraduate Education John Bravman around campus. They've hung their work in MemAud, in front of MemChu, by the Clocktower, and FroSoCo, and are starting to fund this massive propaganda with Bravman tee shirt sales. I'm buying one.

Oh - here's a link to an article written by the group. Sorry I couldn't find a picture. I'll post one if I ever do.
