BERLIN (Reuters) – A Berlin couple plan to have their first baby at an art gallery, the gallery owner said on Saturday, confirming a newspaper report.
“It’s a gift to humanity, a once in a lifetime thing,” Bild newspaper quoted Winfried Witt, partner of mother-to-be Ramune Gele, as saying.
Johann Novak, manager of the DNA-Galerie in central Berlin, said the artistic couple wanted to challenge conventional norms.
“It’s a bit of test to see if society can cope,” he said in a telephone interview.
About 30 people are expected to attend the birth, scheduled for April 24. They would be told to come to the gallery as soon as the 27-year-old Gele’s contractions became regular, Witt was quoted as saying.
