Miamism

There are pretty incredible artists out there in the world, but today we were fortunate to have Spencer Tunicks creative genius in action at The Sagamore Hotel in South Beach.  Some people may think this is a bit “out there”, but whatever your opinion, you cant take away the fact that it is creative.

Tunick is known for shooting masses of naked bodies across the world.  Todays photo shoot started with The Sagamores 15 balconies full of Naked bodies.

It followed by 140 naked women on 140 hot pink rafts that filled the Sagamores pool and were later replaced by 140 naked men in 140 green rafts.

Lydia Martin of the Miami Herald said that the shot with the most “South Beach Flavor” is one where the participants shake and open bottles of champagne. 

Lydia also describes that after opening the champagne, the celebrating crowd jumped in the pool.  Tunick implored volunteers to get them dressed again.

“We dont want this to become a nudist event.  We want them to put something back on to hang out right now. “

I would really call this a Miamism, but in the world of art, its just another “Tunick Day”.

Images will be unveiled December during an Art Basel brunch at the hote.

UPDATE:  I just found this VIDEO in Corriere TV - Its in Italian¦..the language of love.

To think that this single article gets so many daily hits is just amazing - please make sure to also take a look at the rest of our miami real estate blog.

To the "naked" eye, I would have thought that they were manequins, but I must "bare" my soul to admit that it really is a VERY interesting way to create ART - Very OUT there.

Probably like trying to listening to a Maury Povich show...its all bleeped out.  Tunick is a very interesting person...  I just think he is going for a world record of the number of people he can get naked without paying.

Bob - (you liked the video I see)btw - he's paying....he is giving each participant a signed photograph (I read he sells them for $30k-$50k) - no bad, huh?

I have seen Tunick's work before and I love the way he makes nudity into an almost abstract form. What a great event in South Beach. I love the pool photo!

Ashley - of course there is a "fad-factor" to Tunick's work, but it's amazing to me how he moves masses. His shoot was great for South Beach.
