Artist Spencer Tunick is recognized world-wide for his elaborately posed still and video images of multiple nude figures in public settings. His temporary site-specific installations have taken place around the globe in cities including Montreal, Melbourne, Lyon, London, Newcastle-Gateshead, Santiago, New York, Mexico City and Barcelona to name a few. Tunick gathers volunteers to participate in the making of his work which, in the past, have totaled anywhere from 100 – 18,000 participants. The photograph from his Greenpeace project on Aletsch Glacier in Switzerland was named Time Magazine’s Picture of the Year 2007.
From his beginnings documenting individual live nudes in public locations in NYC he has taken his celebration of the nude form international having photographed over 75 temporary site-specific related installations all over the world.
This is his first work in Ireland and will comprise a number of installations in Cork and then in Dublin.

To participate in this extraordinary event please register on-line at www.spencertunickireland.ie. In exchange for participating you will receive a limited edition photograph by the artist, made in Ireland. You will only be nude for a short period of time.

Spencer Tunick Ireland is commissioned by Cork Midsummer Festival and Dublin Docklands.

Festival Director. “Why I chose this?” Taking part in a Spencer Tunick installation is a life affirming and, perhaps, life changing experience. There are few contemporary artists who have so managed to capture the spirit of our age. Spencer’s work is a celebration of the human body, of the landscapes which surround us and of the power we all have to change the world.
