Art: 100 naked women
Conceptual artist Vanessa Beecroft is opening her latest work involving 100 naked women in tights in Berlin. Some of my favorite parts about this exhibit:
Their hair colours - red, yellow, and black - were deliberately picked to allude to Germany's flag, Beecroft said.Most heterosexual guys don't need to go to a museum to see a bored naked woman.
And: Germans had an "intellectual and philosophical background" which made them more receptive to her work, she said, in contrast to the French, who were mainly interested in the fashion worn by her models.
and by far: "this evening's public performance lasts for three hours. Apart from the odd stretch and yawn, the women are instructed to remain as still and silent as possible. Towards the end they can lie down. Yesterday, at the preview, attended by dozens of journalists and TV crews, several of the "girls" as Beecroft calls them sat down exhausted. Most looked distinctly bored."
