Is That a Yellow Card or Are You Just Happy to See Me?
American artist Spencer Tunick’s latest installation has me a bit creeped out. Attempting to capture "the spirit of sports," by assembling a massive group of naked Austrians in a Vienna soccer stadium, Tunick’s work feels more like an homage to Holocaust Rememberance Day.

not to sound like an arty farty asshole, but to me it looks more like an homage to vanessa beecroft (http://www.artnet.com/artwork/424333533/118842/vanessa-beecroft-vb47364dr.html), only with dudes. although, actually you could see creepy holocaust parallels in her work too. definitely don’t see the sport thing at all though. weird.
