Get your kit off with Spencer Tunick – Opera House – March 1st, 2010. #naked #fb

Internationally renowned artist Spencer Tunick has revealed that he will create an installation using thousands of nude Australians on the steps of the iconic Sydney Opera House on the morning of Monday 1 March.

The artist is calling on all Australians interested in taking part to register immediately at The Base to reserve a place.

Tunick’s installation, called ‘The Base’, will be one of the highlights of this year’s Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Festival. Participation in the art installation however is open to all Australians, regardless of sexuality. All nude volunteers will be rewarded with an official Spencer Tunick photograph of ‘The Base.

The US-based artist is the man responsible for gathering people by the thousand and getting them to strip, en masse, in the name of art. Using a sea of naked bodies as his medium, he moulds his groups of willing volunteers into abstract shapes, in various forms and locations, before capturing it on film. He’s attracted huge crowds the world round, including 7,000 in Barcelona, and 18,000 in Mexico City.
