Artist organizing mass photo shoot of 100 nude women during Cleveland Republican National Convention
cleveland.com ^

Posted on 05/12/2016 6:37:39 AM PDT by BenLurkin

Spencer Tunick, of New York, is looking for 100 women to pose nude while holding mirrors in Cleveland at sunrise on July 17, the week of the GOP convention. Those who are interested can sign up by submitting a photo at his website, www.spencertunickcleveland.com. (An unsurprising heads-up: the website includes graphic, but artistic, images of nude people.)

Tunick told Cleveland Scene, which broke the news of the project, that he plans to hold the photo shoot on private property, in part so he doesn't have to deal with police and the "hassle of permits." A handful of groups already have applied for permits to demonstrate during the GOP convention, and more are expected.

Tunick's last Cleveland project was in 2004, when he photographed 2,754 people on East 9th Street near the lakefront on a chilly, 57-degree Saturday. He also took smaller, gender-segregated shots at the William G. Mather Museum and the lawn in Voinovich Park.

The photo of the full crowd was unveiled later that summer at the Museum of Contemporary Art in University Circle.

A country in which this sort of thing happens is probably doomed.

That reminds me of one of the few funny jokes that Roseanne Barr told back when she was a comedian:

I'm on this new diet. You are supposed to eat naked while looking in the mirror. It has worked pretty well for me. Of course, when you go out to eat at a restaurant, you get some rude looks from other customers . . . . .

I don’t think this is an original idea.

Every time period has one of these “why don’t you ladies protest the madness of the modern world by taking off your clothes while I take pictures” guys. I think it started back in the 70s, but I don’t want to google it.

At least, I assume he’s a guy.

Why am I thinking Joe Biden might show up. To support their cause.

Images of nude women? I don’t think this is a new idea. Ever been to an art museum and viewed paintings from the 1700 and 1800 and 1900?

Trump, no blue-nose, will love it. As long as they’re all #10s.

I remember one funny scene from the “Roseanne” show. All her kids were in the kitchen getting food, and she yelled, “What have I told you about eating between meals?!?” and they all chorused, “To use a plate!”

Just like my house. “Can I have (fill in food)?” “I don’t care, just use a plate!”

Most of the people that participate are in the class of Lena Dunham. You’d pay them NOT to be nekkid.

That’s the problem. More likely much lower numbers.

First Rule of Public Nudism: Those most likely to engage in this activity are the people you least want to see naked.

Since you know these will be liberals "protesting", guess which one will be holding the mirror?
