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.

3 nuns on exiting the exhibit ....
First nun: All those nude performers - I had a stroke!
Second nun: I had a stroke too!
Third nun: I didn’t touch any of ‘em.

The most popular exhibit must be the “pull my finger” interactive exhibit.

(1) Get your naked backside out of the freaking doorway.
(2) I wonder how many people were poking just to see if they were real people.
(3) Being naked in public is bound to draw some unwanted attention ... suck it up.

Dunno, as a responsible pseudo-liberal gagger, I'd first want to ask, "Was it good-touch, or was it BAD-touch? Show me with this little dolly sweetheart"
I hope the 'prodders' were frickin' street bums checkin' out the action....Bwaaaaaahaaaaaahaaaaahaaaaa!

Yours is the best response. Another side of this is that someone in New York gets touched by strangers? Man, you can’t even eat lunch at an outside stand-up diner without
a whole bunch of New Yorkers bumping, poking and prodding you.

It being New York, I surprized that a few of the patrons didn’t end up with broken fingers.
