JAŠA was giving a talk on art theory in Milan in 2011 to an audience of art lovers. The talk was going well, and then he began throwing empty beer bottles out into the audience. He had calculated where to throw them and how hard so he could be sure not to hit anyone, but the audience felt they were in danger and were shocked by the sudden shift in the dynamic of the situation. They had expected to attend a theoretical lecture in which they would sit, safely and quietly and in the position of power, listening to and judging the artist’s words and considering whether they agreed or not. Suddenly he was hostile, forcing the audience to participate and be active, the spotlight shone upon them. As he predicted, half the audience hated him for it and half were blown away by it.49 Sometimes an artist can even shock members of the art world, if they can be caught unawares.
