Brooklyn Performance Artist Gives Birth in Art Museum

Brooklyn Performance Artist Gives Birth in Art Museum

Marni Kotak has given birth to her first child -- inside a New York City art gallery.

The 36-year-old performance artist gave birth to a healthy 9-pound, 2-ounce, and 21-inch-long baby boy at the Microscope Gallery in Brooklyn.

Kotak had set up a home-birth center at the gallery, turning her space into a brightly decorated bedroom with ocean blue walls and photo-imprinted pillows.    

"Baby X'' was born at 10:17 a.m., according to a statement from the museum.     

Kotak has said she hopes people will see that giving birth is what she calls "the highest form of art.''
