Not to be confused with labor lawyer and author, Tom Geoghegan, the real Tom Geoghegan is a live performance artists. Featured in Beware of Live Art, Tom has partaken in multiple noteworthy performances such as Rubbish and Strange Fruit. From getting kicked in the hand to peeing in his own boot, Tom puts himself through a lot for the sake of his art. The negligence of the passing audience is upsetting, however, not surprising. There have been TV shows based on how few people react to things like bike theft or robbery, nonetheless an arm in a trash bag. I'm impressed by Tom's ability to sustain stillness throughout both the performances in Beware of Live Art. Congrats man, you did what I never wanted to do, and you did it damn well. There really weren't any photos available.
