The Rat is skeptical.

maybe it is one of those get a bunch of naked people together in the name of art things
but dang thinking about that idea today just makes me colder

gallagher?

I think you hit on it.

All are welcome – no experience needed

I think with a lot of the volunteers, you’d want to say something like “that’s OK, thanks anyway.”

Jana Sterbak is going to make an entire line of clothing out of human flesh.

I don’t even know and I work there!

I heard you need to bring goulashes and a good pair of clipping shears, though.

(I kid, I kid…)

Galoshes? Or a meat dish?

It’s not the naked photo thing. Spencer Tunick is kind of the Clay Aiken of the art world.

clay aiken? so it’s sing in a so-so voice and change your hairstyle kind of art?

Something to do with the Tino Sehgal show, perhaps?

the poster says a “national performing artist” – the naked thing – i thought that was in the photography department.

Funny thing about the Jana Sterbak mention: Walker Performing Arts employs the first model of Sterbak’s “meat dress” (a version of which is in the walker’s collection.)

The Walker 2007-08 Performing Arts schedule has Claude Wampler/ PERFORMACE (career ender) for Jan. 24-26.
Based on a review of the show in The Brooklyn Rail and the poster on the Walker blog, my guess would be that they are auditioning for “audience plants”.
