Baltic Exhibition
photo

Sorry  I  have not been blogging since Christmas. Partly due to being busy, partly due to being depressed. Later I'll try to catch up (no mustard for me thanks!)

Right now I'll just post this photo from Spencer's Baltic Exhibit, of the installation  he did in July of Last year in Newcastle-Gateshead, UK.

And the thoughts of a non-participant who went to hear him speak and to see the photos.

"Unexpectedly it wasn't about Tunick's art but it was about the events themselves. That somehow Tunick's idea had increased beyond what he could ever have expected. That is was about something beyond him, something beyond the individual. Watching footage of the participants wandering through Newcastle I was awestruck with the power which radiated from the group. It was liberating, heart swelling stuff. And if Tunick thinks that there is no longer something overtly political about his work, then I think there is something inherently political about the sea of humanity in his videos. This shared group, which is not noticeable for its nudity or some fleeting moment of titilation, seems to be capable of almost anything. It is at once humans at their most vulnerable and their most incredible. And, if only for that moment, I understood."
