As Art, Tania Bruguera Lives Like a Poor Immigrant - NYTimes.com

Sing along with the common people,
Sing along and it might just get you through,
Laugh along with the common people,
Laugh along even though they're laughing at you,
And the stupid things that you do.
Because you think that poor is cool.


As Art, Tania Bruguera Lives Like a Poor Immigrant - NYTimes.com: Ms. Bruguera is performing a yearlong art piece meant to improve the image of immigrants and highlight their plight. And she is bringing her high-concept brand of provocation to a low-wattage precinct of taco stands and auto-body shops, where the neighbors have responded with varying degrees of curiosity, amusement and befuddlement.
