“Art Imitates Life” or “Exhibitionist Plans Exhibit”

Marni Kotak, a New York performance artist who is pregnant, has transformed a gallery space into a birthing center and plans to delivery her baby, for real,  in front of a live audience as a performance.  The sex of the baby is not publicly known, but once born, it will be called Art.

She is calling the performance “The Birth of Baby X.”  The “X” is for “X-Rated.”

Warning: the first 3 rows will get wet.

Kotak will have a mid-wife to assist in the birth, but not a doctor, because, what do they know about art?

Since becoming pregnant, Marni has mainly had a craving for attention.
