  读故事

  As an amateur behavior artist, Rocco claims that if humans wear clothes then it's not part of an advanced civilization to let trees and rocks go bare"Under no circumstances,”he would say, “should a civilian allow that to happen, it's just not civil, "and goes on to cite a clause from some ancient Greek law, stating that if one lays claim to a piece of land, then one has to take care of things on this land.Rocco also puts clothes on trees and rocks in his own garden.If circumstances permit, he'll buy new clothes for himself and his pet trees and pet rocks.There's no way to classify Rocco as a classical artist, or put his works under a classification.Rocco clarifies that it's a new expression of art, simply not classic.Few people clap at Rocco's art, and most think it clashes with classic art.Rocco laughs at this sort of claim and says that under the circumstances they might as well turn a blind eye to his works, as he doesn't mind the lack of clap in the audience.But he maintains it won't hurt if people just civilize a bit more so they can appreciate a clash in art.

  作为一名业余的行为艺术家,罗科声称如果人穿衣服,那么让树和石头光着身子则属于不太文明的行为。他会说:“一个百姓无论如何不能让这种事发生,这太不文明了。”然后便开始引用古希腊法典中某项条款,说如果谁声称对一块土地有权利,谁就要照顾好土地上的所有一切。罗科给自家花园里的树和石头也穿衣服。如果条件允许的话,他会给自己及他的宠物树和宠物石头买新衣服。不能把罗科分到古典艺术家一类,或者把他的作品归属到哪一个类别。罗科阐明说这是一种新的艺术表现形式,压根儿不是传统艺术。给罗科的艺术鼓掌的人很少,多数人认为它与典型的艺术不协调。罗科对这类断言置之一笑,并说既然如此,他们不妨对他的作品视而不见,因为他并不在乎观众中无人鼓掌。不过他又强调说,如果人们再文明点以便能够正确评价艺术中的冲突,那倒不是件坏事。
