Big Dick in the Big Apple
by Floor Serbrock posted on March 31, 2010Has anyone seen this guy walking around New York? It’s times like these that I wish I lived in New York. Artist David Livingston is dragging his massive stuffed schlong, holding it with two hands because it’s so huge, like its the most natural thing in the world. Apologies to whomever I may be offending here with my enthusiasm for Livingstone’s work of performance art. “Art?” you may raise your eyebrow and ask.
“I see art as a performance, enacted either in crowds of strangers or in the privacy of my studio. In Manhattan’s financial district, I wore a six foot long felt penis sewn together and stuffed with sofa upholstery. During this and subsequent performances, I was fascinated by the public’s reactions (laughter, avoidance, offense) and my own (pride, liberation, shame) as I parodied the figure of the downtown businessman using childish humor” (source)
Check out the adventures of Big Dick here. I personally see the art to be lurking in the contrast between the mundane and the absurd that Livingston creates.
