Art of Erasure
In her "Dictionaries" series she uses an eraser to "rub away aggressively" at words and printed definitions. (For instance, she has erased the words "white," "yellow," and "black" from old Webster's dictionaries to create "colorblind dictionaries.")
And her erasure sculptures "are made from the eraser residue, which she gathers into modest piles."

If you do that at home, without a patron, it would be considered evidence at your competency hearing.

Art, Art let a fart
and blew himself apart.
No more Art.
Or would it be too yellow of a white guy to call that black humor?

Ok - I've had it with 'performance' and 'installation' "art". Let's call it what it is - crap. Or in this case, a modest pile of crap.

Look its a way to make money. And some people pay big bucks to buy this so called art.
A friend who now has a tenured college art professorship told me once that his first profitable art was a splatter painting covered with crushed glass done while depressed, stoned and on LSD because his traditional art was rejected at galleries and shows.

Its a great con game, depending on the desire of some people to be 'cutting edge art connoisseurs' to fleece them with pseudo-art crap.
