Crazy World: Nude peep show attracts dirty Toms

BRITAIN: A tribute to a Renaissance master has definitely gone awry.

Mark Wallinger, a Turner Prize-winning artist, was inspired by Titian’s masterpieces. Metamorphosis: Titian 2012 is his tribute to the spectacular paintings and how they continue to inspire artists even now.

However, the latest exhibition at the National Gallery is attracting the wrong kind of attention and the curators are rather unhappy about it.

The exhibition involves featuring women recreating nude scenes from Titian’s paintings. However, scores of 'dirty old men’ are coming with the sole intention of looking through peepholes at the naked models, and ignoring the actual masterpieces on the wall, reports Daily Mail.

Men have been queuing up to watch 'the peepshow thingy’ and they are repeat visitors. Some Peeping Toms even had the audacity to complain about the quality of the models and the small size of the peep holes, claims the daily.

It is quite clear that the crowd has no interest in art but are there for some cheap thrills.

Wallinger recruited the models via social networking site Twitter who agreed to his terms and conditions. The half-a-dozen models are working two-hour shifts each.

They take turns to be spied upon by the public while they sit naked in a mock bathroom and pretend to take a leisurely bath.

INDIA: In a sick acid attack, Sonali Mukherjee was permanently disfigured when she was just 17 by three men who had been sexually abusing her for years.

The tragedy occurred when three intruders broke into her home in Dhanbad in the Indian state of Jharkhand. The men who had been sexually abusing her for years, poured the acid over her while she was sleeping, claims Daily Mail.

Sonali was left with no eyesight and no right ear, apart from terrible scars that cover the upper part of her body, face and arms.

In the last one decade she has recieved no help from the state and the culprits are out on bail.

A plastic surgeon in Delhi has offered to perform surgeries on her for free. However, her family's meagre earnings are being drained in keeping up with her treatment. She has already undergone 22 operations and her medical bill has run into hundreds of thousands of rupees.

The family has had to sell off its ancestral property and jewelery in order to give her face a shape. She still requires extensive treatment and even more money so that her eyesight can be restored.

Forest officials started searching for the girl in the dark but were able to locate her remains only in the early hours of the morning, reports The Times of India.
