NEW YORK - Some visitors to a new exhibit at New York City's Museum of Modern Art are being asked to leave because they are touching nude performers.
The performers featured in Marina Abramovic's new exhibition have complained of being pushed, prodded and poked by some patrons.
The museum acknowledges that it has had problems with some visitors touching the live art. It is declining to talk about specific cases, but says visitors caught doing it are escorted out.
The exhibition opened March 14 and presents a view of Abramovic's career over four decades.
It includes nude performers standing in a narrow doorway that visitors can pass through. Elsewhere, a naked woman reclines with a fake skeleton on top of her. Other live performers are clothed.

Sounds like they need to put a fig leaf on it.

Sounds like patrons are just participating in performance “art”.

I guess the performers have a bone to pick with the patrons.

Really, which ones are the weirder, the people standing in a narrow doorway naked or the ones poking them as they squeeze past?
Of course, logic and common sense are out of fashion in today's pseudo-enlightened world, though.

It includes nude performers standing in a narrow doorway that visitors can pass through. Like a turnstile?

Marina Abramovic's new exhibition I just happened to be channel surfing on the radio a few weeks back and I heard an interview of Ms. Abramovic on NPR, (of course, where else?)
At the time I thought, "What kind of crap is this ?"

Worst of all was the case where a security guard clipped his keyring to one of the model’s body piercings..
