An art student is planning to lose his virginity during a live performance later this year. Clayton David Pettet is a 19-year-old from Central Saint Martins College of Arts and Design. He has officially announced the venue that will be hosting this art exhibit. It will happen on April 2, 2014 at The Orange Dot in London.
Clayton got a lot of attention for previously outlining his plan to have intercourse with an anonymous male partner in front an art gallery crowd. The project is entitled 'Art School Stole My Virginity' and it was inspired by his experience as a 16-year-old student who questioned the cultural significance of virginity. Pettet wrote "My piece isn't a statement as much as it is a question. The whole aspect of Virginity was incredibly emotional for me and has been ever since."
