Miru Kim's Nude Photos Amid Ruins on View in Red Hook
There'll be an opening reception tomorrow night (at 7:55 p.m.) for photographer Miru Kim's Naked City Spleen show at Gestarc Gallery in Red Hook. The work is part of Kim's ongoing series of photographs that depict her nakedly exploring abandoned subway stations, tunnels, sewers, and even the now-demolished sugar refinery in Red Hook. Now all she needs is a shot of herself in the IKEA cafeteria.
Also on view is a film and video installation by Isidore Roussel, who documented Kim's "child-like and animal-like movements as she wanders through, touches, plays with, and interacts with desolate spaces." Open Saturdays and Sundays from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m., through August 10th. More details here.

She's nude - so what? It's art. The title of the article seems a little sensationalistic.

Some of the pics are not very technically.. competent.
And what's up with all these "artists" and stripping down bare in pics now? I remember there recently being an exhibit featuring four Chinese photographers, one of which did the same sort of photos as these. Random shots with the "artist" nude in various places.
Blech.
