Named the BALTIC PROJECT the artdaily.com piece throws more light on the project.

…New York-based contemporary artist Spencer Tunick is visiting NewcastleGateshead to offer volunteers a once in a lifetime opportunity to become part of his latest work of art. Those involved will be immortalised by participating nude in a series of installations taking place on 17 July. This is the artist’s first large scale UK installation and the artist encourages people from all over the UK to participate.
