    I think people who did the Vienna installation back in May(I think) started to receive their prints last week so I think we`ll just have to be patient for a bit longer unfortunately.
    I was drinking with Spencer on the Sunday night following and he says that the distribution of the photos has nothing to with him but at the feet of Dublin Port, who arranged it. So the Vienna pics were probably distributed by whoever in Vienna commissioned him.

    "We are now working with Spencer to create an event to exhibit the work in Ireland next year. As a participant, you will receive a print from the installation (Cork or Dublin) in which you took part in spring 2009.

    We will distribute these to you around the exhibition we host or we will mail them to you at that time."

    I quote from the email I got today from the Docklands Authority. 2009!!!!! Jeez I won't recognise myself by then.

    There's a selection of pics (not the "actual" pics) up on http://www.dublindocklands.ie/index.jsp?1nID=93&2nID=94&pID=94&nID=486

    There's one of one of the poses (all lying down "head in the ass of the person beside you") that I can see myself in :)

    Have to say I`m disappointed really.I think the idea of having our pictures hanging up in an exhibition really appealed to me and just having them on a website will not do the images justice.I`m feeling let down by Dublin Docklands I have to say.

    Having seen the selected shots for the site, I found it unusual that he focused more on individuals than he did in previous shoots, many are close ups of body parts/faces. Still incredible work though...

    You're absolutely right. I was going to go to the shoot but got too tired (didn't chicken out ;))

    I would be a bit peeved to if there were no exhibition. my motivation for going to the shoot was that it was in the name of art.

    Well that's the very last time I wander around the docks with a chilly willy in the name of art. I'm not ruling out drink related moments nor renting to truckers mis-haps either (one can't foresee those times too clearly).
    I've changed address too...
    This is a non-sense but I had been warned a few weeks back that something of a disappointment was in the pipeline.

    Hmmm, my blue arse in a gallery = art, my blue arse on the internet = pretty shabby porn. Or is that just old-fashioned snobbery on my part?

    Not impressed, but let's face it, it's a different world than the one we shivered in that morning. I imagine there'll be a physical exhibition (ooo-err) somewhere sometime down the line.

    It ended up being a work of art after all but not in the way the organisers and participants envisaged. At the tail end of the Celtic Tiger myth the sight of thousands of bloated and pasty Irish people losing their dignity knee-deep in the freezing water of Dublin Bay as part of a spurious publicity stunt, deluded that they're involved in something of value was a brilliant metaphor.

    Having them pose on the screwed-on balconies of another overpriced (and still largely empty and unsold) apartment block was genius.

    It's only illegal if it meets someone's definition of "offensive" as far as I know.

    Meaning we disallow Nocturnal forum people from attending and we're aok ;)
