Marina Abramović,...Serbian performance artist who is popular among celebrities, recently unveiled an exhibition at the Royal Academy...
A notable feature of the exhibition is an installation where visitors can choose to enter by squeezing between two nude models, recreating Abramović's and her then-partner Ulay's 1977 piece. The installation is meant to be symbolic of a confrontation with nakedness, gender, sexuality, and desire. There’s an alternative entry for visitors uncomfortable with the initial proposition. Some reviews, like those from The Times and The Telegraph, emphasized a perceived decline in the provocative and visceral quality of Abramović's later works, citing them as more sanitized and narcissistic. Other critics discussed the challenges of presenting performance art, especially those involving rigorous, endurance-testing acts from Abramović’s earlier years, in a retrospective format. They also noted that having younger artists reperforming Abramović’s pieces due to her age made the presentations seem more self-conscious and under strain, contrasting sharply with Abramović’s original fearless demeanor.

Well, art is subjective. 🤣
Yuck. “Models”!? More like people taking $50 to stand there.
When is Biden going to be there….
Must be 100 lbs or less to enter.
Average American couldn’t squeeze thru the doors without the nudes.
Yucko. I clicked on the link. One of them is a MALE nude model. Not me. Not now. not ever. WTH?
Yeah....Some people’s art is other people’s garbage...
I always carry a roll of quarters- why do you ask?
Did you see where that pretty well known artist in Denmark sold a piece unseen to a museum for $84,000???
They opened it up and it was a blank canvas titled “Take The Money And Run”
Just not my idea of a good time, I think I’d skip the whole affair.
You will regret your post
A couple of Taco Bell bean burritos for lunch and then off to the museum.

Satanic pedophiles should be executed on live TV.
Looks like sexual harassment to me.
Artist's ShitIt and much more should simply be titled, "A fool and his money are soon parted." Again and again. And if you say this "sh*t" isn't art, you're not cool, and not in, and not with it, and not sophisticated, and not dumb as a box of rocks.

Marina Abramović was Zelenski’s recent choice as ambassador to rebuild Ukraine’s schools.
They’re not even trying to hide the pedo-fascism anymore.
Fat Is Beautiful models...sweaty with racist anger from every pore....tantalizing but busy working on my car.
2nd worst things I’ve heard about in the arts.
Worst was a story reported in detail on Rush Limbaugh as I listened while walking for my lunch hour. A protest art show in New York had the crowd seated in a theater and overhead there were rows of wires on which blood soaked cloths were slowly moved from the back to the front. As they passed overhead blood dripped onto the audience below.
The “artist” announced this would show them the fear gay men with AIDS had. They could catch AIDS now from contact with the dripping blood. No one knew what to believe.
At that moment I vowed I would never again give any slack to Dems or Communists, no compromise or understanding. I was through with them.
I never looked back.
So the headline must use a different definition of "forced" than everyone else uses.
The visitors were abused and were too stupid to realize it.
