According to Sky News:
A nude artist is suing New York's Museum of Modern Art for allegedly failing to stop visitors from groping him.
John Bonafede, who took part in a Marina Abramovic exhibition in 2010 called The Artist is Present, has accused MoMA of failing to prevent sexual assaults against him by museum-goers.
In the lawsuit, he claims the museum "had actual knowledge of ongoing sexual assaults against many of its worker-performers in the exhibition", including himself, "yet it intentionally and negligently failed to take corrective action to prevent the assaults from recurring".
A spokesperson told FNN:
We thought this was a performance art exhibit and by definition would involve some kind of performance to validate including it in the exhibition.
Is it any surprise that live nude exhibits provoked performances of a sexual nature?
Australian performance artist Bill "Emin" Heslop told FNN:
Well it's better than trying to rub yourself up against the Mona Lisa or climbing into Emin's bed and masturbating.
Hey Muriel! fetch me a tinnie. I'm parched.
