Spencer Tunick continues his public nude art series in Tyneside:
Spencer Tunick, a 38-year-old New York-based artist who creates and documents installations of large numbers of naked people, must be a man of no mean persuasive powers to have convinced 1,700 Tynesiders that getting up in the dark, stripping off and spending the next three hours with a brisk north-eastern wind whipping round their unmentionables was a good idea.
I’ve been to Newcastle in July. Yeah, it can still get pretty damn cold. But I suppose if you want to contribute to art you have to conquer your fear of shrinkage.
