A GLASGOW artist is searching for 20 women to help her new show - by baring all on stage.

Nic Green is looking for women of all shapes and sizes to take a stand against the so-called size zero' culture. As part of the show the participants will have to dance in the nude.

She has titled the project Everything You've Been Meaning To Say In Your Own Defence Has Suddenly Gone Right Out Of Your Head.

To help the women feel less self-conscious, Nic and fellow artist Laura Bradshaw will also be stripping and dancing to I Fought The Law by The Clash.

The show is due to be held at the Centre for Contemporary Arts, Sauchiehall Street, next week.

During the performance, Nic, who is based in the city's South Side, and Laura will read quotes from feminist Germaine Greer's book The Female Eunuch.

Nic, 25, a graduate of the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, said: "It's sad we can still relate to a book written in 1971.

"The performance is a celebration of what it means to be an individual, dynamic woman and to feel empowered to be that in a society where the emphasis is always on women becoming and looking like something else.

"I know it is a big challenge to do a performance with no clothes, but I can promise it will be done in the most sensitive way.

"No one needs to do anything they do not feel comfortable with."

Nic has already staged a smaller show in Manchester.

Anyone interested is taking part can e-mail her at contact@nicgreen.

The show will be on October 27 at 6pm.

Last year, 34 volunteers aged 21-66 posed nude in a Glasgow pub for Scotland's first mass-participation naked art event.

It was captured by photographer Alistair Devine for a portrait, which is now in Bobar pub in Byres Road.

And last month about 100 naked Old Firm fans posed for the photographer at Hampden Park.
