The ‘100 Hands Project’
Tattoos are a living and uniquely three dimensional form of art. The Museum has responded to this by commissioning an innovative installation which will literally bring the art off the gallery wall to create a ‘sculptural map’ of British tattoo art today. The ‘100 Hands Project’, curated by Alice Snape of ‘Things and Ink’ magazine, is based around one hundred silicone arms, each tattooed with an original design by 100 of the leading tattoo artists working across the UK. As a whole, the quality and diversity of this work is astonishing.
