"My body is the intention. My body is the event. My body is the result."
"Art is gushing hot bile on the fields and harvesting the looks of nasty dwarfs."
"Being covered in white paint, you demonstrate behaviour intended to create a public nuisance, which did in fact cause offence to members of the public, and created a breach of the peace and public order."
