Two men in business suits debate what to do as a third man eats a woman's body. One of the observers urges some form of action to prevent the continued abuse of the woman whilst the second man chooses to remain a cool observer.

In 1986 it was produced with other one-act plays with the Theatre for the New City and at INTAR, (International Arts Relations), Hispanic American Arts Centre, 420 West 42nd Street, NYC. Art was directed by Donald Squires.

Art was one of eight plays the others being:

First Vows by Manuel Pereiras; Dog by Leo Garcia; Not Time's Fool by Migdalia Cruz; What Did You See? by Ana Maria Simo; Looking For Angels by Lisa Loomer; Snakes in the Bread Box by Lourdes Blanco; Cadillac Ranch by Jose Pelaez.

These playwrights had been Fornes' workshop pupils and took the opportunity to confirm their thanks and admiration of Fornes in program notes.
