HELL CITY TATTOO CONVENTION!
*INNERSTATE LIVE PAINTING EXHIBITION*
*NEW AT HELL CITY 2009*
INNERSTATE
This unique & amazing event is scheduled to take place at this years Hell City 7 "Let it Bleed" and will continue throughout the entire festival. Participating artists will arrive Tuesday evening in order to be ready for a full two day private art jam on Wednesday and Thursday. On Friday morning all work will be moved to the Hell City Special Events room to begin the live performance part of the Innerstate project. We anticipate this to be a memorable weekend and a mark in art history. Participants have been selected. The 40 participating artists are a hand-picked list of tattoo artists who are known for their unique vision and technical command of working with another medium outside of tattooing. The goal is to produce a dynamic and fresh body of artwork over a 5-day period for use in a book and DVD documentary.
Innerstate will be an uninterrupted art jamming exhibition alongside some of the industry's finest! The artwork will be done as a live performance, with the crowd from the convention floor filtering through the Special Events room throughout the weekend. This room gets a lot of traffic from the main convention and will be an energetic environment. All completed pieces will be on display, and all artists who are still at work will have their easels arranged through the room to create a dynamic performance environment. Hell City is very excited to have well-known visionary artists present during this years festivities, we believe that the tattoo community is host to a wide range of highly original visionary talents. The whole purpose of the Innerstate project is to showcase this fact.
Participating Innerstate artists will have a merchandise table in front of the Special Events room, with a dedicated seller on staff the entire time selling shirts, books, prints as well as other merchandise- especially stuff that showcases an artistic vision. Guy and Michele will be conducting short video interviews and photo sessions with all artists throughout all 5 days for the book and DVD that will be following his amazing experience.
Innerstate will be hosting a Saturday night art party with DJ's spinning music and tons of other great things going on while the artists continue developing their pieces. The big Innerstate party will be Saturday night from 9pm-2am. Come drink and mingle with all the artists and attendess that will be partying, dancing and absorbing the atmosphere!
Innerstate & Hyperspace Studios will be having an opening reception for the completed body of work on Sunday from 5pm-7pm in the special events room, after which time the floor will close. The “Roast of Chris Longo†will follow at 8pm in the Union ballroom, which should make for some very memorable entertainment, don’t either of these new events at this years Hell City Tattoo Fest! Don't miss Innerstate; a historic tattoo community art event!..
