    Spencer Tunick :: Be Naked For Art

    ...10.02.10

    Hello! Do you enjoy being naked? Do you enjoy being naked with other people? In a non-sexual, artistic way? Do you enjoy the idea of being part of an artwork that will make up part of a series of epic, internationally accalaimed, global, moving works? Yes? Well, have we got the thing for you!

    New Yorker Spencer Tunick is coming to Sydney for Mardi Gras and is creating a large-scale photograph featuring a shitload of naked people (including possibly you!) in the Sydney Opera House Forecourt. All you are required to do is show up and get your kit off, which is certainly less work than I have done today, and I haven’t done much work today, I’ll have you know.

    From the website: “Tunick’s art challenges the preconceived notions of nudity and the culturally charged, often negative, connotations that are associated with it. In his work, it is the beauty inherent in all human beings that prevails. This is Spencer Tunick’s first large-scale installation in Sydney.”

    That’s quite moving, but there’s also the thrill of public nudity, which I highly recommend. Not that I’d know from experience. Or would I…?

    It happens on the 1st of March, and you can register online here. Homosexuality not compulsory.

      [...] Spencer Tunick’s artwork on Monday morning saw 5200 of you Sydney people naked on the steps of the opera house at some god-awful hour of the morning. Saul Whitton was one of them, and writes for Throw Shapes about the experience of being part of a crowd of naked people for art’s sake. [...]
