Full Coverage
April 26 – May 26, 2007
Opening Reception: May 17, 2007, 7:00pm
TATTOOERS: Jason Kundell, Adrian Lee, Paco Excel, Ron Earhart, Nate Banuelos, Matt Shamah, Horitaka, & Phil Holt
SYNOPSIS: Expanding on the Suits Made to Fit project, the in-house, as well as the extended members of San Jose’s NSKolectiv have been working for several years to produce a new body of work under the working title Full Coverage. The goal being a series of comprehensive back pieces on living canvases ("The Collectors"). Completed, this project showcases 33 back pieces (generally top of shoulders to back of thighs) presented exclusively in the dermis.
This approach of using the entire body as one canvas, as opposed to multitude of small planes, common in western methods, transcends what is commonly perceived as a “tattoo”. Throughout the generations, a select few tattooers have embraced and, after years of dedication, mastered this method. The members of the NSKolectiv attempt to approach this level that their predecessors climbed to and in turn introduce their own visual concepts into the timeless forms that have brought the craft of tattooing to this point.
BOOK: Limited edition box set, hand numbered, hardcover, 200 page, 2 volume book and DVD will retail for $150.00. Set for release during the Oct 19 exhibition at Anno Domini. The Full Coverage book lavishly documents the entire process of creating each individual back piece from start to finish. The film offers a personal look into the tattooers’ creative process and the individual struggle each collector faced. A view into a long process not otherwise seen.
PRINTS ON EXHIBIT: The NSKolectiv in house photographer Max Dolberg will exhibit and make available over 300, signed & numbered, limited edition prints available at the exhibition. All photographs were taken during the two years that the NSKolectiv undertook this project. All Full Coverage prints are being made using state of the art, pigment based archival inks on heavy weight, cotton-fiber paper and will easily last over 100 years. All prints from the show are available is sizes ranging from 4x6 inches to 24x40 inches. Each image will be limited to 25 prints per size.
Exhibit on view April 26 - May 26, 2007. ****Special Event & Book Release: Thursday, May 17th, 9pm till late with special guest Deejay Sergio Vega****
A number of the “Collectors” will be present, live in the gallery to showcase their work in the flesh.
