My cat's plenty smart ... except for one thing: he thinks the handles of plastic grocery bags are cat food; this is a real compulsion; he cannot stop himself from chomping them up, and he cannot even be warned off; he must be physically separated from the bag. The result is that we get lots of plastic-wrapped kitty poops, and occasional plastic barf on the floor.
You were smearing something on the wall. Isn't that performance artist speak for 'yearning for deep mystical ties with the duality of the techno-natura bond of western post industrial kitsch and the political-sexual nature of bungee jumping?'
Or some other such drivel that performance artists go on with. I sat through one once (long ago) where people in multi-coloured, human-sized rubbish bags undulated onstage under multicoloured spotlights. Apparently it had something to do with the environment. Yeah. That's it. The environment ...
Not to mention the "artist" who bought a bunch of puppies, had them put down and stuffed, placed them around a giant blood red heart and called his "sculpture" "Faith, hope and love". And when people reacted with indignation it was just because "they didn't get his art, and besides, he had tried with toy puppies first, but it didn't work as well..."

"Just because no one understands you, it does not mean you're an artist."
A singularly apt statement, and not just in this context.
It could be the companion statement to:
"The urge to perform is not a reliable indicator of talent."
