A Permanent Mark: the impact of tattoo culture on contemporary art
A Permanent Mark: the impact of tattoo culture on contemporary art was the first ever Australian exhibition to draw together the works of 16 noted Australian and International artists to investigate the meeting point of tattoo culture and contemporary art. The exhibition made a significant contribution to the nation’s arts literature field by way of a significant publication featuring essays by the exhibition’s curator Eric Nash, and Mair Underwood PhD (Anthropology), a recognised expert on body modification and tattoo working out of The University of Queensland. A Permanent Mark: the impact of tattoo culture on contemporary art was displayed at Pinnacles Gallery from 19 June until 16 August 2015, and subsequently at Gold Coast City Art Gallery from 12 December 2015 until 7 February 2016.
