Art James Franco: Celebrity Art Critic
Posted by Benjamin Sutton on Wed, Dec 9, 2009 at 3:58 PM
He describes the first such dessert performance in this rather enjoyable essay, where he also does a quick history of performance art, and then explains that his recent appearance as a performance artist on the soap opera General Hospital was a kind of performance art in its own right, which is funny, clever and, possibly, true. But this video interview where Franco creates and eats some sort of gold leaf-wrapped olive ball at Abramovic's apartment is even more enjoyable. Check it out after the jump. (Artinfo)

Yes, thank you. (I'd offer to make you a dessert to express my gratitude, but I might inadvertently end up serving you a plate of sand.)
OK, I watched this, and I find it strange that the video shows the entire preparation of this almond-cardamom ball, but then the clip ends abruptly after he eats it. There's no explanation or description. He just says, "It's fantastic." What's the point?
