[edit] Dead link

http://www.coolcleveland.com/index.php/Main/SpencerTunickInstallation was a dead link on 8th Jan 2006. I will leave it for now in case this is a temporary outage - if this site has really gone away, someone can remove the link... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.140.71.154 (talk • contribs)

More than an year after your message, the link seems dead allright! However, it can be retrieved from archive.org: http://web.archive.org/web/20051221035643/http://www.coolcleveland.com/index.php/Main/SpencerTunickInstallation --Vlad|-> 09:35, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Real name?

Is Spencer Tunick the name he was given by his parents? It seems rather a coincidence that someone who photographs people without clothes should have pieces of clothing as both his names. I haven't been able to locate any info either way. Does anyone have anything on this? Secret Squïrrel 16:18, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

"Tunick" is "tunic," yes, I can see that. But what article of clothing is a "spencer"? 140.147.160.78 (talk) 21:19, 12 December 2007 (UTC)Stephen Kosciesza

On reflection, I wonder if you're thinking of "suspenders." I think that's kind of stretching a point. 140.147.160.78 (talk) 19:15, 19 December 2007 (UTC)Stephen Kosciesza

Nope, definitely "spencer". It is a knitted wollen vest usually worn as an undergarment, often with "long johns". Guess this was what passed for thermal underwear before modern materials. Secret Squïrrel, approx 05:55, 16 April 2008 (Earth Standard Time)

[edit] Record ?

Hey, guys... did you noticed that Tunick recently broke a new record in el Zócalo? http://noticias.prodigy.msn.com/Landing.aspx?cp-documentid=4824816 There were over 18 thousand of nude people! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.128.23.4 (talk • contribs)

[edit] Deleted phrase ?

Shouldn't the following phrase be deleted, "On June 26, 2004, he completed his largest shoot in North America in Cleveland Ohio with 2,754 people posing" since their were over 18,000 people in his Mexico City shoot and Mexico is in North America? SageAndroid 04:11, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

This article is sorely in need of citations. Can anyone please provide more citations? I'm not sure where to start. Thanks. --67.171.72.120 (talk) 07:48, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of locations for large installations?

It would be great to have a locations list. --67.171.72.120 (talk) 07:48, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
