Openly Embracing Nudity

Kanye West, Rachael Ray to Ditch Clothing for Art's Sake

— January 12, 2009 — Naughty
Kanye West announced recently that he wanted fewer fans so he could pose without clothes. He recently told Vibe Magazine that he wants to break every rule of American culture. Apparently having ten Grammies isn’t fulfilling enough. In doing so, he’ll follow in Big Daddy Kane’s footsteps, who posed with Madonna and Naomi Campbell. And Ice-T.

“I definitely feel, like, in the next however many years, if I work out for two months, that I’ll pose naked,” Contactmusic quoted him as saying in a new Vibe Magazine interview. At the other end of the spectrum is food goddess Rachael Ray, who will see a nude portrait of herself by Alex Gardega. Gardega said he will use Paprika to get the skin tones just right on Rachael Ray.

3. Exploring Boundaries of Art and Culture - Opportunities for creators to push boundaries and spark conversations about what is considered acceptable in art and culture.
