Now we know what KH is up to in NYC...
NEW YORK -- Museum patrons know that touching the art is a no-no -- and that means live, naked performers too.
Several nude models who are featured in Marina Abramovic's new exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art have complained of being groped by some patrons. The museum has declined to talk about specific incidents, but acknowledged that it has had problems with some visitors touching performers.
"We are well aware of the challenges posed by having nude performers in the galleries," the museum said in a statement. "Any visitor who improperly touches or disturbs any of the performers is escorted from the museum by MoMA security."
One performer, Will Rawls, told The New York Times that a patron brushed his hand chest and back "and then touched my butt."
"As he was passing me he looked me in the eyes and said 'You feel good, man,"' Rawls said.

I'm so sad that I'm missing out on this.
