Are you an identical twin?

Be part of a Damien Hirst artwork at Tate Modern

Tate is searching for identical twins willing to take part in a Damien Hirst artwork for the Pop Life exhibition. Throughout the exhibition, pairs of twins will sit in front of two of Damien Hirst's iconic Spot Paintings

We are asking identical twins to participate for a number of shifts of four hours each during the span of the exhibition: 1 October 2009 to 17 January 2010 (exhibition closed 24, 25 and 26 December).

Requirements

• You must be identical twins, ideally of the same height and stature. The project brief requires participants to present identical styles of hair and clothing during the performance. Successful participants will show a willingness to perform the role as specified by the artist (see Damien Hirst's video appeal on this page for more details).
• You must be aged 18 or over.
• You will need to commit to a minimum of four shifts of four hours over the duration of the exhibition. Shift times are 10.00-14.00 and 14.00-18.00 daily, plus 18.00-22.00 on Friday and Saturday evenings.

Recompense

All participants will be paid £7.60 per hour (£30.40 per four-hour shift). You will also be presented with a photographic memento of your participation. Please note travel expenses will not be covered by Tate.
