...I Don't Get It.

Not that I've ever understood most performance art very well.  But this?  I just...don't get it.
Tilda Swinton (The Chronicles of Narnia, Moonrise Kingdom) is part of a performance piece on display at the Museum of Modern Art, called The Maybe, in which she sleeps in a glass box.  On display.
...That's it.  Just her, some cushions, and a jug of water.  Sleeping.
Sounds riveting, right?

Am I missing something?  Am I just as cynical as my grandpa and totally unappreciative of modern art?
Maybe I should create some "art" where I do incredibly normal, boring things on display.
