I am happy to have gotten the chance to see Hermann Nitsch at Mike Weiss Gallery. I have never seen his paintings before, and they weren't bad, but of course, his 6-day-play involving hundreds of actors all garbed in white performing rituals with carcasses of animals and naked humans took the cake. This is still more socially accpetable stuff probably than his old sex and poo art-shockers, which put poor Paul McCarthy in the girly-man category for gross-out. I have posted one pic I took, from a tamer split-second of this film, but for more check:
