 | Button yer mush. It's art. |
It's not unheard of to see topless women on South Beach. But Tunick will have about 600 men and women baring it all for his camera at the Sagamore.
| Nekkid, that's wot they're gonna be. |
"It's about fantasy and leisure," he said.
| "It's about getting attention. Nothing gets attention like 300 pairs of honkers! And for the ladies, 300 mostly dangling doinkers!" |
"It's a stereotype, but it's true. You're going to have a good time if you come to Miami Beach."
| "Between the groodies and the baloney, there's fun for the whole family. In a carnal kinda way, of course." |
That's the theme of Tunick's latest installation of art.
| "Honest to Gawd, it's art. When you get 1200 bare ass cheeks in one place it's gotta be art!" |
The artist is known for his photographs of groups of nekkid nude people posed in artistic formations. "I'm going to have 100 to 200 women in pink rafts," he said. "We're going to have people on the balcony posing very much like the Tower of Babel meets Logan's Run. We're going to buy some champagne, 500 bottles, and were going to make a giant explosion for the climax of the installation from the balcony."
| Okay. No more yellow comments. When they start self-snarking, what can I do? Write something serious? |
The 600 volunteers, most from South Florida, will pose for the New York native. "We have a Dade County cop posing," he said. "Isn't that great? We have flight attendants posing, doctors, lawyers." Those posing are suckers will not be getting paid, but they will receive a limited edition print of the artwork, which will be on display during the show Art Basel in December. |
