New York ( CNN ) -- If all goes as planned , performance artist Marni Kotak will give birth to her first child within the month -- in front of an audience at a Brooklyn art gallery . Kotak calls most of her work , `` found performances '' because it is based on daily experience . In past work she has re-enacted : her own birth , losing her virginity in a blue Plymouth , and the dark aspects of her first marriage . She has also collaborated with her new husband , artist Jason Robert Bell , in a performance piece called `` The Wedding . '' `` In my work , I aim to convey my real experience of life , while simultaneously engaging in authentic shared moments with my viewers who have likely gone through similar or related events , '' Kotak says on her website . Microscope Gallery in Brooklyn 's Bushwick neighborhood hosts Kotak 's latest venture titled `` The Birth of Baby X . '' On Saturday , she converted the gallery into a birthing room , bringing in her grandmother 's bed and her old rocking chair , so through the month , she can be in the gallery preparing mentally and physically to have her child , according to Kotak . The exhibit also includes `` You are My Baby , '' first performed at Staten Island 's Lumen Festival in June , in which Kotak filmed her audience and projected their faces onto her pregnant stomach . Sculptures and personal artworks by Bell , are also on display , according the gallery . `` Remnants from the final days of pregnancy and the birth will be added to the exhibition as it progresses , '' says the gallery website . The exhibit was coordinated around Kotaks 's due date , and the gallery asks visitors to be prepared to witness a live birth . When the time comes , Kotak will have the aid of her husband , a midwife , and a doula as she delivers the baby . And this is only the beginning for Baby X . This month 's exhibit launches Kotak 's new conceptual work , `` Raising Baby X , '' in which Kotak `` re-contextualizes the everyday act of raising a child into a work of performance art , '' says the gallery . `` The long-term project will ultimately encompass the overall span of the child 's life from birth through attending college and developing an independent life , '' says Kotak . `` I believe that our most intriguing performances occur when we are not aware that we are performing . It is only in these moments that we are capable of transcending the issues of spectacle that have come to dominate performance art and much of contemporary culture . ''
