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

Hmmmm, i never received an email from Dublin Docklands Authority after the shoot.....anyone else not got one yet?

SQ2 · 07-05-2009 9:31am

Just got email... the pics are being sent out week of June 8th, the pictures and videos:eek: will be shown on his website as opposed to an exhibition.. not sure how I feel about that?!

PatB71 · 07-05-2009 10:20am

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.

Get over yourself, ..idiot

PatB71 · 07-05-2009 3:32pm

What the ****?I`m an idiot??Where the hell is that coming from?We were promised an exhibition and now we get a website ..am I am not allowed feel disappointment at this.If you`re happy with the website good for you,but I was looking forward to bringing my family up to the exhibition and not just crowded round a computer screen at home.

nevisgod · 07-05-2009 3:37pm

facepalm

Bluefoam · 07-05-2009 3:41pm

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.

humberklog · 07-05-2009 4:04pm

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.

How have you seen them ?

Esel · 07-05-2009 10:26pm

All you exhibitionists and no exhibition? That's a travesty!

Tordelback · 11-05-2009 6:14am

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.

We're live...
great video, the water footage brings back the giddyness!

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.

I got my photo. Not bad actually.

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

now yer nakey!

But the things would be were...

Stark · 08-06-2009 1:46pm

Can't seem to get at the site. Looks like it's overloaded.

Boston · 08-06-2009 1:58pm

Really poorly designed site.

iMax · 08-06-2009 2:03pm

Got my photo. Thought it wasn't the best one.

Ah well... off to "we frame it"

Nevyn · 08-06-2009 2:04pm

My photo arrived in the afternoon post.

I'm making a point of not looking at that pic! Seeing the arses of people you dont know seems less weird for some reason!

DavyD_83 · 08-06-2009 11:27pm

Hey, got my picture today too. I'll be honest I was pretty unimpressed to start with, but i'm starting to really like it. Some frame shopping will be done tomorrow.

Anyway, QUESTION: Did everybody else just get one photo? Apparently all the paper's are saying everybody will get 2 prints.
Haven't read it myself, but anybody i've spoken to about it today, keeps goin " But you were supposed to get 2".
I was only expecting the 1, but if I'm due a second I wanna know about it:rolleyes:

PatB71 · 09-06-2009 8:22am

I think if you were involved in the other shoot up on the balconies you get a second print .Managed to get on the website this morning after trying yesterday to no avail...like the video but thought there might have been more photo`s,think I can see myself on beach pic but hard to tell,we`re a good lookin bunch the Irish aren`t we.:D

Bluefoam · 09-06-2009 8:33am

The Cork photos look much better...

SQ2 · 09-06-2009 10:40am

Just looking at the Dublin photo I received, things seemed a bit crowded nearer Spencer's camera position, myself and a few other boards members were up the other end and as car as I can remember you could swing an olympic hammer around you there was so much space! Must have been fun for you lot doing position "C"!

Have heard from two seperate people about some kind of reunion taking place on June 26th on the pier? Anybody know anything about this? Seems people are going to meet up and watch the sun rise on Friday night / Saturday morning!!

Nevyn · 09-06-2009 11:59pm

I don't think the public can get access to down there tbh.

robbie1876 · 10-06-2009 12:04am

Unless access has changed recently, it's a public space alright. Have been out the wall many times, admitedly not since the tunick shoot though...

Having said that, I wouldn't fancy going out there in the middle of the night without the safety of 2500 other people.

OU812 · 21-06-2015 8:32am

Hard to believe this is seven years today. Still have my print hanging proudly.

Wish he'd come back for another one!
