Well, um, no. Actually a lot of the performance-based stuff coming out of
the Greenwich Village scene did not actually have that assumption, nor did
the early installation stuff coming out of that same scene. A lot of the
disagreement had to do with professionalism of presentation, not just film
style as such.
