Expanding on the tattoo body art of their subject, Anna Stump and Ted Meyer will create a large scale painting with a live model during their “Exploding Tattoo” performance at the next Artists@Work on August 9 from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. Through performance installation and photographic documentation, Stump and Meyer explore contemporary body fixation, and the fascination with tattoo decoration appropriated from pop imagery and exotic religious iconography.
