"The artist plans to place himself in a room, the only entrance or exit being a 22 ft long plywood tunnel constructed by Whitehurst himself. Then he says that for the duration of the gallery’s opening (from 7:00 p.m. to midnight) he will rape anyone who travels through the tunnel into that room."

"...I had my first breakthrough with an installation that was to be the prototype for this current one. It was called THE PUNCH-YOU-IN-THE-FACE TUNNEL. It was the same set-up as THE RAPE TUNNEL except at the end of the tunnel I’d punch the subject in the face instead of raping"..."I ended up breaking the nose of the third person to crawl through the tunnel, an aspiring model. She went to the hospital and eventually sued me. Her modeling career was put on hold. The civil case was long and drawn out and the matter still hasn’t been resolved. To this day she still has unpaid medical bills."

Pathetic

I say send a highly trained martial artist who is also gay and inot aggressive sex into the tunnel fully equipped with all his Ninja tools, and see how this schmuck likes recieving as much as giving

What a chicken to stop short of a Murder Tunnel. No cred there as far as I'm concerned. I liked the excuse that he wouldn't create a murder tunnel (after the punch-in-your-face tunnel, and the rape one as it would be "painting him into a corner".

I hope that he can live up to his claims that he'll rape anyone who goes into the tunnel and ends up on the receiving end.......

Well exactly! Art is often designed to shock and create controversy, so it can be pretty hard to tell what's what these days (especially for anything coming out of America).

Hahaha, good one. Although I'm not a fan of joking about rape - not a topic to be making fun of in my book.

I thought something smelt fishy when he started describing the model-with-broken-nose thing. Still, the thought of him ambushing some poor cop sent in there to arrest him makes me laugh
