Music lovers at Big Chill Fest to bare-all for ‘nude landscape’!
April 1st, 2010 - 5:29 pm ICT by ANILondon, Apr 1 (ANI): Music lovers heading to the Big Chill Festival this year are being encouraged to strip off.
While Massive Attack and MIA are to headline the festival, artist Spencer Tunick has been commissioned to create a new living masterpiece during the weekend - and is urging volunteers to take part in a mass disrobing.
On stage, R’n'B star Kelis will join the festival, which will be held from August 5 to 8 against the backdrop of Eastnor Castle Deer Park in Herefordshire.
Tunick’s “nude landscapes” will be his first installation at a European music festival.
Volunteers will be instructed to arrive at a specific time and shed their clothing.
Organisers have said that participants’ nudity will be handled with “respect and sensitivity”.
Tunick, whose work has been staged in Dublin, New York, Barcelona and at the Sydney Opera House, enlists ordinary members of the public in his projects, putting them at the heart of his artwork.
“For me to be able to create one of my artworks in such a beautiful landscape is a real privilege. I’ve never carried out an installation at a European music festival before. I’m looking forward to doing a fantastical work, celebrating the body at play and interacting with such a unique setting,” the Mirror quoted him as saying. (ANI)
