In the midst of an exhibit at London's Tate Gallery that featured artist Tracey Emin's own plain rumpled bed, it took a few moments for politely applauding art patrons to realize that the two Chinese men who had suddenly stripped to their waists and jumped onto the bed were not a part of the exhibit. The pair had painted their bodies with terms such as "Communism," "Internationalism," and "Anti-Stuckism," trampolining on the bed while pouring vodka onto the sheets.

After an initial pause, security guards wrestled the two men off the artwork, but its sheets and pillows were left in hopeless disarray. The pair, who had been trained in London's finest art schools, claimed their actions represented performance art that exemplified the concept of "Anti-Stuckism." One complained after his arrest, "the way they treated us visual artists was ignorant."
