 Because there haven't been enough responses already to the celeb nude photo leak, a Los Angeles street artist has now announced that he will add the hacked photos of Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton to his upcoming show. 
 
 E! Online reports that the artist, known as XVALA, plans to print life-sized reproductions of the photos on canvas for his "No Delete" show at CACA's The Showroom in St. Petersburg, Florida. According to the report, XVALA has been amassing "compromised" images of celebrities over the course of the past seven years as part of his "Fear Google" campaign, which appeared in public areas throughout Los Angeles and is meant to explore the loss of privacy in a world where every action leaves a digital footprint. 
 
 XVALA reportedly explained his decision by saying, "In today's culture, everybody wants to know everything about everybody. An individual's privacy has become everyone else's business. It has become cash for cache." 
 
 Publicist Cory Allen issued a statement commending XVALA's work for helping to "strengthen the ongoing debate over privacy in the digital era" -- because being complicit in the violation and abuse of these women is totally about contributing to a cultural dialogue, and not at all about profiting from a sex crime. 
 
 The show is slated to open October 30, which means that it may or may not actually happen, considering that the photos are now officially evidence in a federal criminal investigation, and a representative for Jennifer Lawrence have announced that anyone who posts them will be prosecuted. 
 
 It's also worth noting that XVALA is choosing to show his "work" in Florida rather than his native L.A. -- which might have something to do with the fact that in California, posting nude photos without consent and with the intention of causing distress is actually against the law. 
 
 What do you think? Should the photos be allowed to be used for an art exhbition? ||||| Leaked nude images of Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton hacked and posted online over the weekend will be featured in an upcoming art exhibit at The Cory Allen Contemporary Art Showroom in St. Petersburg, Fla. 
 
 The images will be included in an collection titled “No Delete” by artist XVALA. 
 
 “This show has been in the works for about two years now,” Cory Allen told FOX411. “When this came out…about Jennifer Lawrence [and] Kate Upton, it was the prefect dialogue. It was about invasion of privacy—and [the artist] thought it would be the perfect time to add these as a final installment to [the collection].” 
 
 Reps for Lawrence and Upton have been adamant that they have legal action planned for anyone who spreads the photos around. 
 
 "The authorities have been contacted and will prosecute anyone who posts the stolen photos of Jennifer Lawrence,” a rep for the Oscar-winner said. Meanwhile, Upton’s publicist threatened: “We intend to pursue anyone disseminating or duplicating these illegally obtained images to the fullest extent possible."

 So how does Allen play to get away with displaying the photos? 
 
 He told FOX411 the images of Lawrence and Upton were just a small part of a much larger exhibit about privacy in today’s society. Plus, he said they’re art, not photos. 
 
 “We’re not posting them… and we don’t see them as photos. [The artist] sees it as art,” Allen said. “He’s not trying to exploit anything. He’s basically just mirroring who we are today. I think if he was really concerned and too worried about the legality side of it, it would challenge the integrity of the art.” 
 
 He added that he thinks the fact that the gallery is not sharing the pictures is key. 
 
 “We’re not sharing the photos; we’re not posting them; we’re not trying to promote that aspect of it. He is creating the artwork from these images. There are also other images [in the exhibit].” 
 
 This isn’t the first time artist XVALA has used controversial celebrity images in his work. In 2007, he used the memorable photo of Britney Spears shaving her head as part of an exhibit and in 2011 he plastered Scarlett Johansson’s leaked nude pictures around Los Angeles with the words “Fear Google” covering her body. 
 
 Reps for Lawrence and Upton did not immediately return FOX411’s request for comment.

– This exhibit isn't likely to get much A-list approval: Florida's Cory Allen Contemporary Art Showroom plans to include some of the recent hacked nude photos of celebrities as part of an art show titled "No Delete." The St. Petersburg gallery tells Fox News that the October show is "about invasion of privacy" and "has been in the works for about two years now." After photos of Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton, and others leaked, Los Angeles artist XVALA decided to add them to his work, the gallery explains. E! reports the collection also will include intimate and nude images of celebrities taken from Google over a seven-year period, printed "life-size and unaltered." "In today's culture, everybody wants to know everything about everybody," says XVALA in a statement. "An individual's privacy has become everyone else's business." The gallery is using a this-is-art rationale to defend the piece and say it's within the law, but MTV sounds skeptical it will happen considering that the photos are now part of an FBI investigation and celebs are promising to prosecute those who share them. It also notes that XVALA's decision to show the exhibit in Florida rather than his native state "might have something to do with the fact that in California, posting nude photos without consent and with the intention of causing distress is actually against the law."
