Streetart. A green dragon (named Alvin) and a red ladybug (named Celeste) have been drawn in chalk on a gray sidewalk next to a wooden bench. Big Alvin and the little Celeste are facing each other and staring at each other.
Title: "Alvin and Celeste's standoff has now entered its twelfth day, and neither can remember what the argument was about."

Familiar with this performance by artist Marina Abramovic in which she sits at a table and stares at various strangers while they stare back at her?
