Contemporary artist Spencer Tunick is visiting Newcastle Gateshead to offer volunteers a once in a lifetime opportunity to become part of his latest work of art. Those involved will be immortalised by participating nude in a series of installations. The resulting works will be shown as part of an exhibition at Baltic in January 2006 and elements of the installation will be part of a broadcast on BBC Three. Spencer Tunick is widely celebrated for his elaborately posed photographs of multiple nude figures in public settings. Past installations have taken place across the globe in cities including Montreal, Melbourne, Santiago and Barcelona.
