Everyday People

The Lowry’s tenth anniversary celebrations include inviting everyday people to take part in a unique art event by shedding their clothes and inhibitions for a mass nude project in May.  Spencer Tunick, one of the world’s most celebrated and accessible contemporary artists, has been commissioned by The Lowry to create an installation across eight locations in the two neighbouring cities of Salford and Manchester.

Tunick will focus on the concept of ‘everyday people’ for the Salford and Manchester installation as a reference to the compositional style of LS Lowry, whose figurative works depict a mass of bodies going about their daily life. This exhibition is Spencer’s first visual response to the work of another artist for the entirety of a project and his interest in LS Lowry’s approach to composition illustrates the relevance of Lowry today. The resulting photographic and film work will be shown at The Lowry from 12 June – 26 Sep.
