spencer’s paradise

We sat down with New York contemporary Artist Spencer Tunick to get his top tips for Brisbane ahead of his monumental installation of mass nude bodies on the Story Bridge for Melt.

Where to eat

Favourite restaurant and why?

Ginga – Fortitude Valley. A robot with a cat face served us sushi which was quite unique…a first.

Best coffee

Favourite place for coffee?

I was working so hard on the upcoming Melt Festival project, I did not venture far from my hotel. But I did enjoy the close by Colin’s for my afternoon jolt
of coffee. Any place with multiple colored pillows is someplace I want to relax in.

Where to shop

Best place for shopping and why?

SWOP vintage shop is where I got a silver snake patterned jumpsuit for my wife. And I picked up a few pair of sustainable sunglasses at Dresden Glasses.
I’m very supportive of environmentally-friendly businesses and products.
