"I think the people are ready for this type of art or other means of expression, although society's cannons are still reluctant to accept it. I think the public, especially young people, ask for new things."

10. SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Voxpop, Visitor:
"One says to oneself, 'holy cow'. I didn't know that these kind of things were happening. Things go faster now. I think one doesn't have to see it from a morbid prospective, although some will, but not in my case."

BODYART IN MEXICO CITY
Twenty-two artists gathered in Mexico City's Art Museum on Saturday to exhibit their work on the human body.
Working on naked models, actors, dancers and singers, the Mexican artists displayed their creative vision in front of hundreds of visitors during the two-day exhibition in the Mexican capital.
According to exhibit organisers, one of their objectives was to allow artists and the public to experiment with the international art form known as body painting.
One of the models said she thought that people were ready for this type of art form.
The first Mexican exhibition of body painting opened last year at the Chopo University Museum in Mexico City, featuring 15 artists.
