Duck man ... ?

This is a first. Yesterday Alex Mazitelli performed a very odd event in West London dressed in a get-up that included a black wire face mask/head basket blobbed with taxidermied ducklings. In the words of Salon Contemporary:

"Dressed as a very strange, avant-garde looking 'Duck Man', Mazitelli began by standing outside the gallery asking passers by to donate money for eggs. An hour later, collecting a whopping £6, the artist stopped by Sainsbury's (with an interesting response!!) and made his purchase. Mazitelli then proceeded to make egg paintings in the window of the gallery, handing his work out to an intrigued audience watching outside!"

Fair enough. I would have certainly stopped to watch. Read and see more here +
