Update #6 · Jun 1, 2012 · comment

Hi everyone and heartfelt thanks,

This is getting close and the bar keeps moving up as we passed the $21,000 mark this afternoon. We're not out of the woods but we can see past them now. several people have upped their pledge levels, and that was superb. If you want a reward it's not too late to change your mind. The artists appreciate people wanting their work. Spencer Tunick has, since yesterday, jumped into the outreach fray full bore and it's making a difference. Here's what he's sending to his friends and fans and if you think there's someone you can think of that would back us- here's some brilliant copy! We really need to over shoot the goal because Kickstr and Amzon take a 7% cut total off the gross. It adds up and we have costs, you can imagine.

Love you thank you,                                                                                                      Paul 

48 HOURS LEFT, LET'S MAKE THIS PROJECT A REALITY!
This Kickstarter project needs 30+ people contributing at the $100.00 range to make its goal.
Or go in for the higher tiers and make it happen quicker.
Hello friends, 
This is a project with a good cause attached, that honestly needs your help.   
I am helping out friend and filmmaker Paul H-O by doing an indoor installation to help fund his Kickstarter project. Your contribution will raise awareness for the disappearing family physician and support Paul H-O's film on the subject. This film in short, is about an amazing generous Doctor (Dr. Isaacs) who offers free medical services to struggling artists who can't afford healthcare. The Doctor occasionally accepts artwork from the artists in exchange, and his office walls look like an overcrowded gallery.
Also, if you contribute at the $100.00 level,  you will be the first to be accepted to pose in the doctors office in Soho, NY.   Of course even if you can't come and participate in my artwork, kindly support the project by purchasing artwork.   
Please follow the progression, please post this on your social networks and let's try to make this happen.
Best Regards,
Spencer Tunick

    This not just a level. You want this film to get made. You want it all made and go to bat for both sections of Mercer St. Medical Case. All of the above and an Executive Producer card in the front title of the mini-documentary, THE ART OF MERCER ST. MEDICAL, plus an invitation to a screening of THE MERCER STREET MEDICAL CASE in NYC. This will allow you an opportunity to offer feedback to the producers and have a tangible role in the filmmaking process. THE ART OF MERCER STREET MEDICAL will focus on the art collection displayed at the old Mercer Street Clinic. The mini-documentary about the art of Mercer St. Medical will feature commentary by Paul H-O and his interviews with some of the key artists and Dr. Isaacs also talks about the work. It will be an all access video document and it will be insanely multi-dimensional! You can help make this separate but important document a part of Mercer Street Medical history. Before the old Mercer Street Medical closed, Paul H-O videotaped and shot stills of all the artwork he could find. Producer pledges for on-screen credits will help make this a reality.
