Round 3: Tossup 7

An artist on a beach used one of these objects while a plane flew above in the piece 747. Xiao Lu used one of these objects at the premiere of her 1989 installation Dialogue. A fight broke out over one of these objects during Marina Abramović’s (10[1])piece Rhythm 0. The Mozambican artist Kester (10[1])used these objects (10[1])to make both the sculpture Tree of Life and a throne. Three years before being crucified onto a Volkswagen Beetle in the piece Trans-Fixed, Chris Burden had a friend use one of these objects on him in his most (10[1])famous work of performance art. In the most famous photograph by Eddie Adams, a man nonchalantly uses one of these objects on another man in Saigon. For 10 points, in a 1968 incident at The Factory, what sort of object did Valerie Solanas use on Andy Warhol? ■END■

ANSWER: guns [or firearms; accept specific types of guns such as rifles or pistols or machine guns or AK-47s; accept bullets; prompt on weapons] (747 is by Chris Burden, whose most famous work is titled Shoot.)
