| Description |
Exhibit hopes to push boundaries of comfort and celebrate inherent beauty of human body. The American debut of Argentine artist De La Plata's conceptual live nude art series, Statue Garden, comes to New York City for a limited-time engagement. The art exhibit, featuring live figure nude art models serving as its centerpiece, will take place at the intimate lounge CV, Manhattan's artsy Lower East Side, and continue every Thursday. Admission is $15 and includes a complimentary vodka cocktail. "Americans can't seem to get passed human nudity," says artist behind the exhibit, De La Plata, "This exhibit is designed for viewers to come in close contact with the human figure and confront their discomfort and embrace it." In addition, the artist hopes to highlight the innate beauty and perfection of the human body, "So much attention is given to making people more beautiful, with expensive clothes, makeup, accessories. We are trying to expose and highlight that those are unnecessary societal constraints, that the human body is beautiful in natural form." Part of the experience is intended to heighten sensitivity and then blend it to a party so viewers can interact at an abnormal sensual peak - thus themselves becoming part of the exhibit, observing others behaviors, reactions, and interactions. The name of the exhibit, Statue Garden, was inspired by the beautiful Renaissance era human body sculptures adorning gardens throughout France and Italy.
