To protest ‘pretentious’ art world, artist Lisa Levy would be sitting naked on the toilet for two days. Levy would be ‘performing’ the protest on 30 and 31 January from 1-6pm at Christopher Stout Gallery in New York.

Visitors will be able to sit on another toilet opposite her. However, they won't be allowed to touch her in any way. Her performance is in direct response to Marina Abramovic's 'The Artist is Present', which Levy considers as 'contemporary art world pretence'. Levy on her Facebook page said that she is ‘seriously tired’ of the bulls**t trendy art dialogue about how the art world is driven by rich people who want shiny work and don’t care about meaning as well.

Stripping naked to protest is not a new concept. Many artists have gone starkers to get their opinion heard.
