Cuban artist Carlos Martiel visited the University of Texas at Dallas Artists Residency to showcase his presentation Ruins.

In Ruins, Martiel strips naked and lies on a floor. He then has two white people cover him in rocks "until [his] body becomes invisible."

Ruins "looks at the extermination of American indigenous populations and land by dominant Western Culture," according to Martiel:

Martiel has since performed in several works, all of which included full nudity.

In Suspect, "an individual uses different police procedures on me that are used to intercept and subdue suspects, such as, frisking, disarmament and immobilization."

What a dope.

I feel a need to do my OWN performance art:

“Pisses on Pile of Rocks”

[bigbob]

Can the rocks be applied forcefully?

Cuba is only 90 miles away from Florida. GO HOME!

But since Americans build things out of modern building materials instead of rocks and sticks, we should cover him with rebar and concrete—just to keep it real.

"Can somebody help us with this one?

For the second act, they should keep piling on the rocks to imitate Muslim gay worship ceremonies.

This would be much better if his associate artists actually threw the rocks at him till he was buried. Now that would entertaining and worthy of my time.

Where’s the first art critic from the History of the World Part 1?

A white man taking a leak on the exhibit would take it to the next level if you ‘re trying to make a statement. I’d be glad to do it free of charge.

The muzzies are saying, “No, No, you’re doing it all wrong.”

[Stormdog]

Do people have to pay money to see that?

Funny what passes for art.

[Cheerio]

[Secret Agent Man]

You’d think only white people ever conquered other people.

I now understand why God instructed the Israelites in many cases to entirely wipe out certain peoples.

[hinckley buzzard]

Yup. This is what lefties consider "art."

[driftless2]

"What a dope."

Correction.....dopes.

[lightman]

He’s gonna need help to get his rocks off....

...not by me!

[headstamp 2]

Now pour concrete over the rocks and let it set for the full effect.

Then put it in a shipping container and send it back to Cuba.

A Cuban complaining about how whites treated the natives? Go cry to a Spaniard, and don't expect any federal grant money for your silly performance art stunt.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Yes, as the white hipster with his fashionable jeans with the requisite hole in the knee to show he identifies with poverty places the rock before he goes back to his million dollar condo paid for by his trust fund.
