Sorry, this piece is not currently in an exhibition. If you would like to exhibit Venusitication please contact me!
Based on Botticelli’s “Birth of Venus”, my “Venusification” allows viewers to become the Goddess of Love and Beauty by stepping nude into the hair of Venus. This Venusification process is documented and added to the growing book of Venusifications that have occured since its conception in 1998.
To date 118 people have been Venusified.
Procedures:
Sign up for a Venusification appointment during the opening reception or e-mail libby for an appointment.
The appointment will take approximately 15 minutes, during which time you will sign release forms, be fitted in the wig for height, disrobe in a discrete setting, enter the Venusification piece, be photographed, and redress. You are nude for only a few minutes in the gallery with me (the photographer), you (the Venusified), and anyone you would like to attend.
Each participant is given a 4” x6” print from each of 4-5 exposures made. The image chosen by the artist (me again) is printed and added to the Venusification documentations book and will be shown at future exhibitions. (The Venusified can request specific cities in which they would like me to omit their image.)
Each participant is charged a $5.00 sitting fee to cover printing expenses.
You can see an image of a past Venusification in the Pink gallery.
Please e-mail me if you have questions or are interested in an appointment!
