If you've ever wanted to see Britney Spears naked, now's your chance (at least until a tape of her having sex comes out) and all in the name of art. One minor detail, it's a sculpture and she's birthing. On the plus side, it's life size. The artwork is coming to Williamsburg for a two week show at Capla Kestin Fine Art. The piece, titled "Monument to Pro-Life: The Birth of Sean Preston," supposedly celebrates Spears' "decision of placing family before career" and "honors Britney for the rarity of her choice and bravery of her decision." Gallery organizers and pro-life activists claim that the sculpture is the first pro-life "monument to birth."
All Gothamist was wondering when we first read about this was how anatomically correct the piece was. As the sculptor didn't actually meet Brit Brit, it's probably not too accurate. The gallery's website says it has several realistic features, "lactiferous breasts and protruding naval, compliment a posterior view that depicts widened hips for birthing and reveals the crowning of baby Sean’s head." Um. Okay. We'll stick to watching loops of the birthing scene from The Miracle of Life.
The work isn't without controversy as it seems to be drawing a fare share of hate e-mail (we know about that, don't we!). Daniel Edwards, the sculptor said that his work is a "new take on pro-life." For Edwards, creating the his tribute was a family effort with his three kids pitching in. Gothamist applauds his fun family activity - a birthing Brit Brit, a bearskin rug, and thoughts of doggy-style.

I wonder if his kids helped with sculpting the beef curtains.
supposedly just the leg.
that sound you hear? it's jeff koons, smacking himself on the forehead.
Beef curtains? I think I just threw up in my mouth.
Um, first off, TMI, tien.
Having said that, am I to assume that should one walk around this entire piece that once could look straight up her crotch like some wacky exhibit in a children's museum? Huh. Though I guess the "crowning child" may be obstructing the view.
Having said *that*, I have to admit I love this. It's bound to piss everyone off... pro-choicers won't like it because, well, it's pro-life, and pro-lifers won't like it because, well, it's Britney Spears. Pro-Brits will think she's being made fun of, and anti-Brits will be pissed off because, well, it's Britney Spears. I'm not sure if he's making fun of pro-lifers, pro-choicers, Brit fans, pop culture vultures, but under the guise of showing something beautiful (childbirth), he's actually made something maniacially mocking. Nice going.
*And* you get to see her ass. Bravo.
Wow, is the artist for real? A momument to pro-life? This has to be a joke.
I'm pretty sure it's a joke...and it looks NOTHING like her face.
I think he threw in the "pro-life" label just to get some kind of cred. first of all, duh, that's not a birthing position. also, in an interview he later said he's not particularly pro-life or pro-choice, in fact, he's not political. (I guess just wanted to make a pervy sculpture.)
Take it from someone who has witnessed it, the end result is beautiful, the process is not.
Beef curtains? The correct medical terminology for those = 'Piss Flaps'
I'd hit that
Instead of a baby coming out of her twat, they should've inserted a fleshlight. Then charge $5 for each 'use'.
But she had a caesarian, everyone knows that - so it's disturbing AND inaccurate!
Not necessarily. The baby was about to come out, but went back in after noticing how diseased and disgusting her cooch was.
The baby opted for the caesarian, not Britney
Wait! Wait! Where are the little pebbles representing cheez curls and the marble Big Gulp of Dr. Pepper?????
Ugh. I don't know why I came back to this entry. I think I just got the clap...
