Nude artist seeks Dublin, Cork subjects


A controversial photographer famous for his installations of crowds of naked people is bringing his artwork to Ireland, it emerged today.
Internationally acclaimed contemporary artist Spencer Tunick wants naked volunteers to become part of his first back to back city art project in Dublin and Cork this June.

Groups of nude participants will be photographed outdoors as part of his series of installations that have taken place in cities around the world

The Cork installation will take place on Tuesday, June 17, followed by Dublin Docklands on Saturday, June 21.

Tunick said those who pose are everyday people, with less than 1% made up of nudists or naturalists.

“It’s 99% everyday people like social workers, artists, landscapers,” he said.

“They are not exhibitionists. They just do this collaborative art project once in their life and they might never get naked for an artist again.

Events in Ireland are being staged by Dublin Docklands Development Authority and Cork Midsummer Festival. Everyone taking part must be aged over 18 and has to register in advance at www.spencertunickireland.ie.

In exchange for taking part, the models will receive a limited edition photograph from the event they attended. PA

Great. I'll do this. Share the wealth, and all that.

He took some pics before in Ireland. Saw an exhibition of his stuff and there was one shot of a lovely flame-haired cailín álainn standing in the buff on a deserted, misty botherín.

It brought a tear to my japs eye.

but you guyse can thank My Bloody Valentine for drawing me over to London that weekend, sparing you all from La La's quarter-life crisis.

Thumped excursion?

I was just about to post this.... I always thought I'd do it if he was in my city. Suddenly, when presented with the prospect, I'll pass.

 

[Pantone247]

he's hardly contraversial, is he?... I mean he's been at it so long surely everyones bored out of their tree with him now

 

[Wheels]

It'd be too weird if you met people you knew there.
Eye contact, all about the eye contact.

I'm gonna do this, and I'm gonna have an erection

Yeah, you'd need to be in a different city than you lived. Or at least a much larger one than Dublin. Well, unless you're an exhibitionist.

Can people go to watch?

Japs eye contact?

I wouldnt be bothered about the other people there. Its the passers by..the laughter, the ogling, the scobies throwing eggs.

In the docklands....watch out for the glass.

I'd say the one in Cork will be full of langers.

 

[Gambra]

It took that long for it to be said?

Sorry for the delay, and conversely, just sorry.

For sure. I'd be much more likely to take part in something like this if it was a long way away.

I'd be as worried about recognizing someone else as being recognized. Imagine if your boss was there...
