Strip poker on display in New York art gallery window

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you’re looking for even more excitement in your live poker games you’ve just missed out on a great opportunity!

A game of strip poker ran throughout November last year in the shop window of the Art in General Gallery in Manhatten. There was no cash on the table but there were plenty of clothes in this installation piece by Zefrey Throwel who is well known for pushing nudity in his art that sometimes result in arrests.

In August 2011 he also got a group of about 50 people to dress up as office workers in a piece called Ocularpation: Wall Street. The ‘office workers’ then stripped down to nothing, giving morning commuters something different to look at.

The strip-poker installation was apparently a comment on capitalism – what exactly it was trying to say is beyond us though. Throwel did say that he was “trying to illuminate a dark cranny in the financial world.”

Throwel invited people without stimpulating any dress requirements so many arrived with 10 extra layers while some just wore jeans and t-shirts so that they could get down to the ‘bare essentials’ sooner.
