NYC artist plans to give birth at gallery

NEW YORK -- A performance artist in New York City is planning a monthlong piece on her pregnancy that she hopes will end with her delivering the baby before an audience at a Brooklyn art gallery.

Artist Marni Kotak says she is setting up a birthing room at the Microscope Gallery in Bushwick, equipped with a bed, an inflatable birthing pool, a shower and a rocking chair.

With the baby's due-date uncertain, the gallery is putting together a list of visitors to notify when she goes into labor.

A midwife is expected to assist with the delivery.

Kotak tells the New York Post that she sees human life as "the most profound work of art."

The performance beings Saturday, with an exhibit featuring a variety of art related to her pregnancy.
