Earlier this month, 125 nude activists stood in Astor Place completely naked—save for pasties and large posters, both of which depicted male nipples. The protest was directed by photographer Spencer Tunick, who also took photos of the activists. Amongst the group was Bushwick-based artist, Eva Mueller. As an activist that often works toward liberation of the human body in her work, Mueller was proud of her participation in the protest and shared a link to an article about the protest posted by Frieze, which eventually got her banned from Facebook.
