Cracked

Although the subject of today's post happened nearly a year ago it doesn't make it any less strange,but  then again,I don't seem to have much respect for performance art. A French male performance artist decided to hatch chicken eggs by sitting on them for 21-26 days in a vivarium while wearing a blanket to keep his body temperature up and eating ginger also to increase heat. His other pieces have included living inside a stuffed bear and eating only beetles and berries,living inside a carved out rock an existing on only soup,and floating down a river in a giant corked bottle (that one at least sound a little bit fun). Of course in this man's case he comes by his odd ways honestly as his father invented a pill that made flatulence smell like roses.
I was able to carve out enough time this morning to write this post as I have more basement work coming up at noon,but the good news is it is getting close to done!

Abraham Poincheval

French artist Abraham Poincheval (C) sits on real chicken eggs until they hatch during a performance at the Palais de Tokyo on March 29, 2017 in Paris. Poincheval is supposed to sit on eggs for 26 days. The artist made headlines worldwide when the two halves of the rock closed around him on February 22, 2017 at Paris's Palais de Tokyo art museum.
