Men Dance Naked For Obama And The Pope


Recently some men danced naked at the Grecian Acropolis for Obama and The Pope. No, it wasn’t a private showing, it was part of a worldwide art-marathon. Here’s more from ITN:

US President Barack Obama and Pope Benedict have appeared in a dance show at the Acropolis in Greece – painted on the naked bodies of the performers.

It is the work of a Swiss artist who goes by the name of Dave, who said he chose the Pope and Mr. Obama because they provoke conversation.

The work was inspired by fusionism which is an art form that combines abstract painting and choreographed performances.

It is part of an art marathon. The plan is that one artist will be sent to a different country every year for the next 42 years to exhibit their work and create discussion on how art can make the world a better place.

We’re all for Barack Obama, art, naked men, dancing, and making the world a better place! Too bad the dancers weren’t completely naked. Of course, it might have made the world leaders look a little more wrinkly than they actually are.
