you make the call part 'this guy is a jerk'

this is "performance artist" todd pavlisko hammering a "homemade" nail through his foot. great.

i imagine his high def. copy of the hammering is going for thousands of dollars. great.

in my opinion, not only is this barely art but it's just lame. i stepped through a rusty nail in tom simard's backyard building a mini-ramp in 6th grade. pay me.

but, as always here on P.I.., we rely on our intelligent and studious readers to make the call:

so, art or no art?
