Concrete Playground

Spencer Tunick’s tableaux vivants are supposed to impress us with the raw beauty and power of the human form, but if you’re like me and find the naked adult body a bit ridiculous you might sooner respond to his work as an elaborate art of mass organisation and collaboration. Having instigated close to 100 short lived, site specific nudie fests around the world, the New York artist is set to create his first large scale installations in Sydney on the Opera House forecourt for the 2010 Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras. So get your birthday suit specially cleaned and pressed and register on the website to enjoy skinship with strangers in the name of art.
