                  He walks up to a tree in the public park out side the Giardini area in Venice and tapes his left arm to the tree branch as high as he 
                  can reach, and then he drops a house brick on the ground and stands on it on his tiptoes for 2 hours and 30 minutes. After an hour    
                  somebody comes up to him asking: “What are you doing?” He replies “I want to try and get a bit higher.” Then they ask: “Are you an artist?"

                  He walks up to the start of the walk way in Viale Garibaldi in Venice and pulls out from this pocket three hand made clay letters 
                  A, R and T which can spell the word ART. He places them onto the road and starts pushing them along the pathway with his nose in 
                  one direction for 3 hours.
