Expert Art Nailz is a performance piece that invites audience members to get hand painted works of art in the form of manicure. While the brief exchange occurs, the manicurist, a talking watermelon, invites the audience to express their views and tastes on art. Expert Art Nailz allows the audience to have an interaction with an artist in a non-commercial environment, while it hopes to raise questions regarding performance arts.
