Modern Art

A Japanese artist has been paid £5,000 of taxpayers’ money to attempt to drink 48 cans of beer and then fall off a wooden beam.

The “performance”, which took place at the Chapter arts centre in Cardiff, has outraged members of the local council and caused bafflement among the public, many of whom do exactly that without getting paid every Friday and Saturday night

Nice writing, though.
