Museum Guests To Undress Before Entering Nude Exhibition

A French museum is getting ready to host an exhibition where visitors must get naked to enter and talk about the experience in the display of nude arts.

The event at the macLYON, a contemporary art museum in Lyon, is one of two acts that focus on the presence of the body in the macLYON Collection’s artwork.

Nude guests will be able to attend the 90-minute session on Thursday, which tries to move away from the 17th-century French philosopher René Descartes’s concept of ‘I think, therefore I am.’

Instead, it seeks to argue that we are superior to our physical selves and that there is no such thing as a “pure” idea that is not a part of an organism that observes and experiences.

‘Our idea is to question the issue of the body in a given space, to see how bodies interact with other bodies,’ a spokesman for the macLYON told The Times.

Frédéric Martin, the branch chairman, added: ‘It’s interesting to experience an exhibition totally naked. That makes us focus on our own perception of ourselves, with a social artifice.’

In order “not to cause panic in politer society,” he claimed that naturists typically avoid the public eye. However, we are now emerging from behind our ramparts to declare that philosophy is flourishing.

Up to July 9, the Incarnations series’ first act is now playing. The 1960s artwork on show depicts the body in its physical reality as a tool of experimenting with oneself and the outside environment.

Beginning in September 2023, the second act of the nude exhibition will take place in the same museum location and explore the conflict between the body and the environment while pursuing the same topics.
