Wes Westenburger: Sjonnie's tattoo booth

performance, sreenprints
Wes Westenburger created screenprints out of old tattoo drafts he found on Katendrecht, a half island in Rotterdam near the harbour, where formerly lots of tattoo studios and brothels used to be. In a live-performance at the opening day of the exhibition Leerstand Schillerstraße Wes tattooed one of the sail boat tattoos of the drafts on his leg. Furthermore he tattooed two friends anchors in exchange for a pot plant and a cloud they tattooed on his leg. After the evening of the opening he left the remains of the performance and the tattoo drafts for visitors of the exhibition.
