Hennessy Youngman is one of things-on-the-internetz that validates the entire enterprise. In the fast and fascinating 10 minute clip here, Youngman traces the history of performance art, linking it to Occupy and our contemporary engagement with the internet. Oh, and totally worth watching to the end.
(Hennessy, if you’re reading, I was the one that tweeted at you to do a video about The Levitated Mass. Nobody could do it quite like you! PS – whisky is my drink too.)

Yah! Soc Images discovered one of this past year's better art gems. He does a really good primer on art postmodernism.

YES YES YES. I love his work. As an art historian, he gets my very enthusiastic stamp of approval.
And Marina Abramovic totally IS the Dr. Dre of performance art.

Recently I have started to actively develop and optimize my business and I want to say that with the help of https://www.pandawaiver.com/ I was able to quickly start doing waivers. This in turn has greatly accelerated the process of work. I think that you should also read more information about it beforehand.

I can say that developing a business on the internet is actually complicated, but it can be all worth it. Personally, I started developing an online store not so long ago, and extensions from amasty like magento rma plugin actually help me with that, so I'm glad that the internet makes everything so accessible.
