    Has anybody who signed up for the "Spencer Tunick Experience" in Dublin received their confirmation email about the location yet?

    According to some posters on the Cork City Forum we are due to receive it today :)

    I hate getting those email's, they didn't bother me at first but soon as Ms Gillo started sending them to me....

    I wouldn't be surprised if the mails aren't sent out until as late a possible to stop A; gate crashers B; a media circus & C; the Holy Rosary / Down with that sort of thing brigade

    I think they have done enough of them at this stage to know how to deal with that sort of carry on....

    No email yet. Some Corkonians have received their email confirming time place etc. But then again, them Cork lads :(

    It will probably turn out to be statistically the most sausage dominated photo shoot he ever done knowing our luck!

    Bells on what? :eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 43,045 ✭✭✭✭Nevyn


    I am looking forward to it, and yes given that dawn is a 4am he could want people in position for it so it could be a 3amish start.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21 EllieN


    Thanks for the info Alds-I never thought of looking at the website :o

    I wonder what they mean when they say "Multiple groups of nude participants will be photographed outdoors by Tunick" Are we going to be separated into various groups? I'm probably reading too much into it :confused: but the mind boggles after looking at other work he has done.

    Looking forward to it too though :D

    But it's a very early start. Gawd we will be freezing :eek: How on earth are we going to keep warm, my teeth are chattering already :eek:

    Will be keeping an eye on the Cork Thread to see how they get on ;)

    At least if it's cold, blokes won't have to worry about standing to attention, thats the bit I'd be most concerned about.

    I can't believe so many of you are falling for this nonsense. This guy isn't an artist-he's a shameless publicity hound who's guaranteed to get his pictures published in the papers for a bit of 'legitimate t'n'a'. The first time I saw the pictures several years ago I did find it interesting and with some artistic merit; the 20th time it was just tedious.
    Remember 'The Emperor's New Clothes'? This is a literal re-enactment. It wouldn't surprise me at all if he came out a few years down the line and admitted it was a stunt all along.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 43,045 ✭✭✭✭Nevyn


    You can think that if you want latenia, this shoot affords me to stand naked in our capital city and watch the sun come up on midsummers morning with a large gathering of people.

    There is no way a bunch of pagans would get permission to do that, but we are getting to do it in the name of art which suits me.

    Ah yes, I remember reading about how our ancient forefathers would see in the dawn of the longest day standing around tax-designated inner city corporate offices while being ordered to stand in formation (fatties at the back) by a publicity hungry hack. Is there no field up in Meath yiz could go to?

    The meeting point is at 3 AM but the shoot itself won't probably start until 5 am or so. At least this is my experience from previous shoots.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,302 ✭✭✭Cadyboo


    Was hoping to do the Cork one, just received the mail, lets just say it is on really really early, like middle of night early, and Im on nights.....
    Disgusted, and i wanted to see the sausage fest

    I thought you'd be in the UK for that Thaedydal. Or am I thinking of someone else...

    For the participants, I think some forward planning might be in order given the time and place. Cork is 3am according to the papers and goes on till after 8am. That's over 5 hours. I guess a warm tracksuit, umbrella and a plastic bag to put your stuff in are basics. I'm considering contact lenses as glasses might be annoying in rain/cold... Better organise a car to borrow or a lift too as public transport is out.

    As a newcomer to all this, I was highly concerned about unwanted, um, physical side effects. After 5 hours of cold and tedium, I doubt this will be of concern. Anyone going thinking they'll get some sort of sex based thrill out of it are out of their freaking minds. On the positive side, the sun coming up over Dublin, all those people, the thrill of doing something so memorable and different. I think it will be really worthwhile. I'll be searching boards.ie to see how the Cork event goes...

    How I choose to celebrate day is my choice and why on earth would I be up in meath, I am from Dublin ?
