Pictured above hipster douchebag Nate Hill, who calls himself a performance artist which is just another word for talentless attention seeker. His newest piece: Crack shaped candy deliveries:
A Brooklyn performance artist’s latest act is fake “candy crack” drug deals – riling neighborhood activists who don’t think illegal narcotics are a laughing matter.
Every other Saturday night, Nate Hill delivers $1 bags of “crack” – really crystallized sugar – to anyone in Williamsburg and Greenpoint who calls in an order.
Dressed in a white tuxedo and a white dolphin headpiece, he shows up between the hours of 10 p.m. and 2 a.m., just like a many real drug pushers.
“There’s this amusing theater going on and really, it’s just supposed to be fun,” Hill, 31, told the Daily News.
I said it before, I’ll say it again. Art is dead.

Rob Taylor,
I wonder if he wears that mask out of embarrassment or artistic sensibilities.
Look kids you can pretend to be drug addicts without actually doing drugs.
Say no, while saying yes and the same time.
Once your done with this, I got some of the real thing.
No this is not a mask, I’m part dolphin!
– : )
The only people I can imagine who think this is art or funny are those who are so deep in the drug culture and in denial about the harm it does or those who have never been affected by someone with substance abuse problems and are in denial as well. My brain just can’t wrap around it otherwise.
I seem to remember twenty years or so ago the powers that be couldn’t piss all over themselves fast enough to ban the sale of candy cigarettes – and yet this crap is Art?
I guess going after this assh**e would be considered racist. I don’t suppose the RevRearend Al Sharpton had any comment.
