Heated buses

Heated buses are usually essential in and around Manchester. They form a key part of Spencer Tunick's proposal for the Lowry this May.

Over one remarkable weekend in May, Tunick will make a series of photographs and a new film of his multiple-site installation in Salford and Manchester. Volunteers will be taken, via a caravan of heated buses, to eight locations over the weekend of 1 - 2 May and asked to pose naked while Tunick creates the installation. The resulting photographic and film work will the be shown at The Lowry from 12 June - 26 September as part of the exhibition, Everyday People.

At the moment, everyone's being rather coy about the exact venues. Tunick is looking for 1,000 volunteers - that's quite a fleet of buses. I expect Peel Media will be upset if Media City doesn't feature somewhere - if only in the background.
