THE BURNING INK ART SHOW - IMAGE TO TATTOO AND BURN Following on from the success of the Burning Ink Event , which took place in Paris last year, DC launched last month the BURNING INK Art Show in New York City. The event was hosted at Frank’s Chop Shop, one of the most famous and trendy barber shop on the lower east side.

From June 17th through to July 7th 2011, Dc launches BURNING INK in Berlin, DC will bring BURNING INK to Berlin, taking over the well known downtown venue MadeMyDay Collab Room, Torstrasse 66, near AlexanderPlatz.

The Art show will go up in flames on July 7th during the Fashion week.

Supported by Local and famous Lodown Magazine, this event will bring together a unique selection of world renowned street artists , graphic designers , illustrators and tattoo artists such as : SSUR, SBTG, SUPAKITCH, KORALIE, XGHETTO 666, SPOE, CHLOE TRUJILLO, PRUNELLE, FUNKFU, JEY, LA BOUCHERIE MODERNE, OSMOZE, MAROK ...

A special pop up Art show will be added with a series of leather jacket by Artists including SSUR (LA/Moscow), SUPAKITCH (Brooklyn), 123CLAN (Montreal), and also SBTG who will be present in Berlin for the Burning Ceremony on the 7th.

Concept reminder: This concept is radical and has never been seen before. All the drawings designed by the selected artists will be burnt at the end of the show. The whole idea is to be nothing like an ordinary art show, no one can go home with the art in their hands. The only way for the art to survive the flames is to be bought and then inked onto the buyers’s skin, making each design a unique tattoo.
