2,008 nudists to pack Vienna soccer field for Euro 2008 tournament 'art'

3 days ago
VIENNA, Austria — It might be a good time to make strategic use of a yellow card.
New York contemporary artist Spencer Tunick has gained notoriety worldwide for photographing thousands of people in the nude. Now he's planning to pack a Vienna soccer stadium with 2,008 naked fans in the run-up to the Euro 2008 tournament.
Austria's national railway said Thursday it will offer free travel to the first 2,008 men and women who sign up to bare it all for the May 11 spectacle.
Tunick wants to pose them on the field inside Ernst Happel Stadium, where the tournament final will be played. Austria and Switzerland are co-hosting the event, which runs from June 7-29.
"2,008 naked people would be super!" said Katharina Murschetz of Kunsthalle Wien, a prestigious Vienna art exhibition centre that is organizing the mass-nudity display.
The Brooklyn-based artist has grabbed headlines for draping naked bodies on glaciers, in front of the United Nations, in downtown Amsterdam, Netherlands, on hotel balconies overlooking Miami Beach's famed South Beach and in more than 70 other locations from Montreal to Melbourne, Australia.

Great idea.
Too bad he won't be allowed to do something similar at the Beijing Olympics.

1) All modes of human powered transportation are welcome, skate board,
pogo sticks, bicycles, Rollerblades and airplanes(as long as human
powered) are all welcome.
2) You do not have to be naked. The World Naked Bike Ride is bare as you
dare. It is all about having fun and being CREATIVE. Wings, tutus,
feathers and flowery things all go well. Let your creativity blossom.
If this is your first time organizing a World Naked Bike Ride in your
local city; here are a few points to remember.
1) Invite people. (Very important step)
2) Add the start time and other details onto our website
www.worldnakedbikeride.org (http://www.clothesfreeforum.com/www.worldnakedbikeride.org)
3) Invite the media. The media helps keep grumpy policemen at bay. Even
though it is rare that there are any arrests, it is always best to
invite the media. The police do not want to be seen on national TV
harassing happy colorful naked people. It makes them look soooo silly.
The World Naked Bike Ride is an event that belongs to the participants.
Its hierarchy is your own creativity. So get involved by taking ownership

Being naked for a shoot doesnt make them nudists.

<HR style="COLOR: #ffffff" SIZE=1><!-- / icon and title --><!-- message -->Come on, America, you can top this -- a measely 2,008 nudist soccer fans for Euro 2008 in Vienna! The DNCC says there are going to be some 5000 delegates (plus 35,000 guests and 15,000 media folks) at the Democratic National Convention in Denver in August. How about a gathering of at least 5000 naturists at Mile High Stadium? :)

He photographs the same subject matter every time but in different locations. I wonder how long it will be before he starts to bore people.
