BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA.- Spencer Tunick, the famous nudist photographer is in trouble again, this time for a nude photo shoot of 450 people in conjunction with the ArteBA art fair in Buenos Aires on April 6, 2002. The fair itself was postponed due to Argentina’s fiscal crisis, but the performance went ahead under the watchful eyes of city police. Tunick completed a pair of untitled photo shoots, the first at sunrise in front of the obelisk on la Avenida 9 de Julio and the second on the city’s famous Avenida dei Mayo, the site of the recent political demonstrations. Trouble started after the event was widely broadcast on local television, at which point a conservative lawyer named Oscar Igounet announced plans to sue both the mayor of the city and the news media, claiming that Tunick’s performance offended his family. Tunick returns to South America for a performance at the São Paulo Bienal on Apri 27; the photographs go on view at I-20 gallery in New York in early 2003.
