We have our thoughts. Over the past year, Kanye West has made some bold statements in the public eye which has many people wondering if Yeezy is doing all this press-worthy behavior as a publicity stunt, or better yet – as performance art. Could they be right? Perhaps. Here are 5 reasons why Yeezy could be the next Marina Abramovic.
It’s true, according to one Twitter user, who has been following Yeezy’s moves closely since the rapper returned to social media, post-meltdown.
7. The purpose of this performance with a coyote, “a wild spirit – often thought of as America’s untamed spirit” was to hopefully make the coyote “tolerant and accepting through Beuys’ desire to heal.” pic.twitter.com/Z6NYJapmwL

11. Anyone that’s even a little familiar with Andy Kaufman knows that he was a performance artist who would put himself in uncomfortable situations in wide view of the public eye, and rarely, if ever, break character. Check out Man on The Moon or Jim and Andy on Netflix.

Kanye is actually a fan of Marina Abramovic
.@ericskelton pointed out Kanye is a known fan of performance artist Marina Abramovic and once said “I’m like Marina Abramovic. This is, like, performance art. The thing is, I don’t got a problem with looking stupid.” pic.twitter.com/0N3vxz1w8r
