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

Again from the 4/15/2010 New York Times article on this exhibit:

“In addition to the gropers, there have been less extreme but still unnerving encounters. Mr. Rawls, for example, said that standing with his arms at his side he had felt more erections ‘across the back of my hand than I can count,’...”

So-called “ART” is the biggest joke in modern times.

The fact that we pay millions in tax dollars to this BS is ridiculous.
Art is the excuse for millions of losers in this country to declare an “occupation” for themselves.
Pathetic

Also from the realm of ridiculous "art" in New York City:

Empire State statue sparks 911 calls
upi ^ | April 15, 2010

Posted on Thursday, April 15, 2010 10:27:19 PM by JoeProBono

NEW YORK- Police responding to a report of a jumper at New York's Empire State Building said they discovered the male figure standing on the ledge was a cast iron statue.

Investigators said the life-sized man statue that inspired Wednesday's 911 calls was part of the "Event Horizon" art installation, which features several of the realistic sculptures installed on various ledges around the Midtown area of the Manhattan borough, the New York Post reported Thursday.

"It's a pain in the ass," a city police officer said of the art project. "It's a waste of manpower. We're short cops to begin with and we don't have enough cops to waste answering calls of statues committing suicide."

The statue was installed on the ledge in late March as part of artist Antony Gormley's exhibit.

Officials said 34 people have jumped from the Empire State Building's observation deck since it opened in 1931, six of them during the past 10 years.

Makes sense - you aren’t allowed to touch strippers either.

Too funny, Willie Green!

A new generation of mugged liberals find out why one wears clothing in public. Many are learning why it is a good idea to take showers and not lay down with dogs as I type. Others are learning the reason you need the protection of a gun when set upon by a pack of wildin’ “diversity” racists in the city.

Because of political correctness, we do a bad job of passing on useful lessons from one generation to another. Each generation seems to have to degenerate into the gutter to find it’s very dirty and dangerous in there.

I've been to this exhibition. There is a portion where you walk narrowly through a naked man and women, with the space so narrow that it is difficult NOT to touch.

I should also say that for a 60 year old woman, Marina looks very good.

Ya gotta love the NY art scene-if they’re not fondling nude models, they’re dipping something in urine or smearing it in feces. Out here in the nether region of ‘flyover’ land, you’d have to go to a cathouse or waste treatment plant to enjoy such sophistication!!

Modern "art" - compare to art from previous generations. That's all I have to say.

"It includes nude performers standing in a narrow doorway that visitors can pass through."

Pushed and prodded and poked - oh my!

So, the “exhibit” has two naked women standing in a doorway, and they are surprised when they get grouped.

Where is the Captain Obvious tag.
