His offering this time round: a Plexiglas cube stocked with night crawlers and humus, titled Worm Earth Piece.

Born in Vilna, Russia, a center of Jewish culture that produced Heifetz, Schneider acquired early experience as a teen-age member of a trio in a local restaurant. The trio occasionally was summoned to play in an upstairs room while a patron made love to a prostitute in full view of the musicians.
