NAKED people will be strolling down the high street in a North-East city this week.

However, they will not be starkers, but wearing nude suits, to promote the work of Spencer Tunick at the Baltic arts centre, in Gateshead.

The performers, from the Natural Theatre Company, will walk around Newcastle Quayside and talk to the public about Tunick's work.

The US artist visited Tyneside in July when he photographed 1,700 naked members of the public.

The exhibition will be launched on January 21 at the Baltic.
