I love how the artist himself is the most disgustingly fat man my tender eyes have e'er been lain upon.

Am I the only one who realises that this guy is a pervert who somehow managed to get thousands of people to pose naked for him, thinking they are doing an "art piece". He's going to get those pics developed and then **** til it bleeds, the filthy git.

Not that I've seen the man but what the hell has that got to do with anything? I'm pretty sure his intention isn't to make people eat healthily.

longshanks

i'll probably be heading up to this (from waterford) meself. one of those things you can talk about for a while. and if a big fat photographer man wants to have a pull, who am i to judge?

copeyhagen

i would be araid of seeing a few fine chicks there and endin up a bit too excited!!

carolmon

I'm surprised by how close the press coverage got to the shoot.

I thought the idea behind Spencer Tunick's installations is that bodies en masse create art and symbolise the relationships between the individual and humanity/ society on a larger scale?


The email says that press coverage is at a safe distance to the shoot but
I've seen photos and emails where people are easily identifiable.


I believe some of the late night radio phone ins were even ridiculing individual participants appearance which really goes against the whole concept, it's not a modeling competition.

I am really interested in taking part in the Dublin shoot but am put off at the thought of emails of my big arse circulating round the internet.

Has the press coverage put anybody off the idea??

afraid?? nah, if it happens it happens and i guess we'll deal with it then(boys, stand back. girls, tally ho). it'll probably be freezing out though, so fine birds or no, the little fella will probably be hibernating.
and there's always the 17 times tables....

fuuck the begrudgers i say. you'll regret it if you dont do it, and it'll be old news in a couple of weeks anyway

yeah
will have to work up the courage, there's so many reasons I want to do this.

I imagine it would be a once in a life time opportunity, and it's summer solstice,

Also my dad's family are all from south inner city docklands area from way back so that appeals to me too, being naked as the day I was born in this part of Dublin.........hhmmmmmmmmm decisions!


i'm not at all worried about the people there cos I reckon they're all like minded anyway, it's just the thought of people who didn't take part having a snigger that worries me................

Loopy

Definitely do it.. You will be on a high afterwards.. Literally :pac:

FlutterinBantam

For Chrisakes... talk about being manipulated.... gimme a frikken break here!!

Dont worry the sight of overweight balding men and saggy butts will more than compensate.
That combined with the wind chill from the early morning dockland gales around your nethers, you'll be praying for the crack of dawn.
Oops

It might be intended to weed out the prudish ones or those who are not happy with their bodies. Xpect lots of gorgeous exhibitionists to turn up;)

Inevitably

Go for it! its on from 3am so no one will be able to see much anyways!

Go for it man, you'll regret not doing it

Inevitably

Yeah I think if you're not just thinking OH NO WAY then you probably would like to do it and enjoy the experience

Brigida

Yeah do it. just think of the craic and feck the begrudgers

PatB71

Yeah do it ,its a once in a lifetime thing.I`m doing it Saturday and I`m no model I can assure you!From the reports of the Cork one it sounds like it was great craic.

Its put a lot of doubts in my mind.

While I'm not in the least bit worried for myself, I just it would be embarressing for my family (I've two young children too) for my naked /body/photo to be published in a rag like 'The Daily Star'.

carolmon

well i didn't do it in the end, was at the tom baxter gig then went for a few drinks and sorry to say i hadn't the staying power to hang around til 3am.

Did any of you go along?
what did you think of the experience?

hallelujah

Common misconception.

For anyone who was there this morning. Apparently there is another on tonight???? Apparently yellow slips were handed out. Does anyone know if you can just turn up or if you need the yellow slip???

longshanks

i have no idea about slips of paper for a shoot tonight, if they were giving them out they missed me. it was the coldest i've ever been, too much waiting around considering the weather (he reckoned he'd have the shots taken care of in 20 mins, it was about 50 mins or an hour a couple of girls were telling me). a good laugh though, even with the cold, 2500 people shivering, turning blue and praying for it to be over. but it was mad, you'd find yourself chatting away to complete strangers, naked, kind of looking each other up and down, but not really, and not at all self concious. i ****ed off before the shot in the mud. about half left early due the rain and cold. i couldn't feel my feet for about an hour after it. the people on the passing ferries and freight ships mustn't have had a clue what was going on

doonothing

It was gas! Never experience anything like that again! The second one was torture..

The yellow slip is for women, and couples only, meet at grand canal square, Dublin Docklands, in front of FRESH shop, at 3.30am sunday morning.

longshanks

honestly, all that was going true my mind after the first one was 'how am i going to drive home if i cant feel my feet?' i wanted to be out of dublin before traffic got real heavy, so chances of me standing around for another hour in water up to my knees was a non-starter. did i mention the cold?

don65

Thanks for that Doonothing! I will be going with my wife.

Not sure if I am thinking of the correct part of the IFSC. Is the FRESH shop near Ely Hq or the Eno wine bar??? (Near Kudos?) Is that the general region or am I way off?
