A German artist has invited 30 people to attend the birth of
his first child in an art gallery in Berlin as part of an
exhibition entitled "Birth", the DNA gallery says.
The spectators, who registered for the exhibition via the
Internet, will participate in "an exceptional experience",
said the artist Winfried Witt for who "man, because he is
unique, is an existential object of art".
The artist wants to "show living people, perceived at the
same time as object and subject through a kind of magnifying
glass and to expose man in the situations of his personal
life".
The exhibition, which opens Wednesday, is planned to
continue until May 4, the due date for the artist's wife,
Ramune Gele, 27.
From Wednesday, the 30 spectators will be ready day and
night to come to the exhibition.

=======================
Artists are getting desperate for something new, are they
not?
In the decades to follow, I wonder how his wife will regard
strangers who ask "Don't I know you from somewhere? :-)
