Yes, it seems the patrons are artists as well.

Why is their art being escorted outside the building? What happened to freedom of expression?

Is their touching judged less artistic than the paid performers’ exposures?

Is it only art if you get paid for it?

In which case, whither the whore?

But the GOOD news is they really saved a lot on their wardrobe budget!

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,’...”

Why hasn’t anyone asked for pictures yet?

Because groping their computer monitor isn't quite the same thing?

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

Agreed.

Do you know what the difference is between a pizza and an artist is?

The pizza can feed a family of four ...

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.

Yep! BTW, are we allowed to have cross thread conversations? Has congress outlawed them yet?
