Visibly aroused nude model removed from exhibition
April 19th, 2010 - 5:21 pm ICT by ANINew York, Apr 19 (ANI): A nude male model had to be removed from an exhibition, when he became visibly aroused.
At the Marina Abramovic installation on the sixth floor of the Museum of Modern Art, naked men and women — eight at a time, 38 in all — taking turns on display.
One can see a pair face one another at the entrance close enough that visitors brush against them on the way in.
Another nudist is tied to a cross, reports the New York Post.
According to reports, several visitors were asked to leave after touching the performers.
However, the organisers had to tell one model in the show to leave the gallery because he became visibly aroused. (ANI)
