CRAZY ART: LIVE! NUDES! LIVE!

The Royal Academy of Arts in London has a new exhibition of works by Marina Abramović, a Serbian conceptual and performance artist. The exhibition contains key performance pieces from the artist’s 50-year career. It includes:
– “Luminosity,” in which a naked woman is pinned high up on the wall in a crucifix pose while seated on a bicycle seat.
– “Nude with Skeleton,” features a naked performance artist lying still on the ground for hours with a skeleton on top of them.
– “House With the Ocean View,” where three women will occupy separate open platforms on the gallery wall, for 24 hours a day over 12 days without talking and drinking only water. Not sure if they’re naked.
These are all conceptual pieces that Abramović has performed herself. Oh – and to get in to the exhibit, you have to pass through a performance piece called “Imponderabilia,” where you have to squeeze between two naked people, a man and a woman.
* So it’s a toll gate?
* Try not to rub against the man or woman’s imponderabilia.
* They have to replace the nude door people every 50 admissions, because of chafing.
* Just think – she’s been doing this for 50 years – 50 YEARS – and THESE are the best things the Royal Academy could find to put in their exhibit.
* Another crazy lady artist. They call her Loco Ono.
