Performance artist Marni Kotak to give birth in front of audience
October 25th, 2011 - 8:55 pm ICT by Aishwarya BhattLos Angeles, Oct 25 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Performance artist Marni Kotak plans to have her first child in front of complete strangers. The 36-year-old is due to give birth in a few weeks time so she plans to have some people watch her deliver the child. About 15 people are expected to be at a special gallery and view the spectacle.
The gallery was opened earlier in the month. Patrons who got to the place were urged to leave their contact details behind so that they could be contacted later if Kotak goes to labor. They will not be required to pay any fee to view the spectacle.
This is not the first time that Kotak will be giving such a performance. In the past, she has given performances which include re-enacting losing her virginity and the funeral of her grandfather.
Kotak’s husband Jason Robert Bell is involved in the project. Unofficial filming will not be allowed at the gallery. The only documentation of the event will be done by the husband.
The couple says a midwife will be on hand to help Kotak deal with the experience. She will give birth in an inflatable pool which will be installed at the gallery.
