Pose Nude At The Republican National Convention And Be Part Of Spencer Tunick's Latest Art Project

If you fancy getting naked at the upcoming Republican National Convention, but don't want to get arrested for it, then you can sign up to be part of Spencer Tunick's latest nude art installation.

Tunick is famous for his his large-scale nude shoots and he plans to do one at the upcoming Republican National Convention in Cleveland. Tunick is looking for 100 women for the shoot which will take place on July 17, 2016.

Tunick's nude shoots often resemble surreal fleshy landscapes as multitudes of naked bodies are entwined with one another or standing together. Artnet defines them as "individuals en masse, without their clothing, grouped together, metamorphose into a new shape. The bodies extend into and upon the landscape like a substance. These grouped masses which do not underscore sexuality become abstractions that challenge or reconfigure one's views of nudity and privacy."

The latest piece will be called Everything She Says Means Everything and will involve the nude women holding large mirror discs. The idea, says the project's website, is that this will reflect "the knowledge and wisdom of progressive women and the concept of 'Mother Nature' into and onto the convention center, cityscape and horizon of Cleveland."

If you want to get involved you need to send a full-length photograph of yourself and you'll be contacted prior to the shoot. As well as appearing in the artwork you'll also received a print of the installation. You can sign up here.

"Maybe I want it to be a work that women can be part of, maybe to heighten the idea that women will decide the outcome of this election and will have a more powerful presence in the future of politics, the future of the country, and the future of the world." Tunick told Cleveland Scene. "It's not so much a protest but an action, a wake-up call to the absurdity of politics and discrimination."
