Take part in Spencer Tunick’s first festival installation!
July 12th, 2010 by sparky
On August 8th, celebrated artist Spencer Tunick created one of his world famous nude landscapes, as part of our Art Trail. The artist used the festival’s unique architecture, as well as the stunning backdrop of Eastnor Castle Deer Park, to set the scene for his new and exciting work.
Here’s what Spencer had to say about his latest work of art…
We are calling the Big Chill crowd to sign up to participate in my artwork at the festival. We will be painting people in solid colors with cosmetic make-up, there will be a crew of make-up people that will help you color your body. There will also be shower stations, soap and towels to remove the make-up. We are encouraging you to be part of art and not just a viewer. The artwork will be far away from people who are not participating. In the works, I will be referencing the recent BP oils spill in some of the set-ups using black paint. Not pointing blame, but bringing attention to the connection between our massive need for oil and how its connection to the body and and our exsistence is intertwined. I will be also making abstractions with the many nude participants with 4 additional colors, as a homage to Yves Kein, Mark Rothko and Ellsworth Kelly. I can’t make my art without YOU. So I am hoping you will spend a short period of time with me to make some art. You will be painted, so you will be dressed in a way. If you pose you will receive a limited edition print of the work, mailed to you by the Big Chill in the following months. Take a leap of faith, and LEAP INTO COLOR!
See you there, Spencer Tunick.
