Spencer Tunick: Amsterdam Nude

Spencer Tunick captures nude figures through film and video, with public space as his decor. On June 3, 2007, he will shoot an installation in Amsterdam. Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of naked men and women will spill into some of the Amsterdam streets and squares.

Uitmarkt returns to the city centre

Uitmarkt 2006, the Netherlands’ largest cultural open air event, will take place from 25 through 31 August 2006. For the first time in many years, it will be held in Amsterdam’s city centre, in theatres, concert halls and open air stages between Dam square, Nieuwmarkt and Waterlooplein.
