following on from the success of the burning ink event in paris last year, DC europe is proud to be launching the burning ink art show in new York City, usa and in berlin, germany.

bringing together a unique selection of world renowned street artists, graphic designers and illustrators, burning ink is a crossover event between the world’s of fine arts and tattoo’s.

the selected artists are ssur, sbtg, supakitCh, koraLie, Xghetto, sCien, Dean, kLor (123kLan), Marok, stefan MarX, wiLL sweeneY, spoe, La bouCherie MoD-erne, ChLoe truJiLLo and others to be confirmed soon.

the concept is radical and never been seen before in these two cities: all the handmade drawings designed by selected artists will be burnt at the end of the show. a very different concept to an ordinary art show, no one can go home with the art in their hands. the only way for the drawings to survive the flame is to be bought and inked into the buyers’ skin, making each design a unique tattoo.

the first edition of DC’s burning ink was held in paris from 20th of May to June 13th 2010 at “bleu noir”, the tattoo parlor/gallery in Durantin street, paris 18eme.

new York’s burning ink will take place in frank’s Chop shop, an incredible barber shop, managed by a young team of creative blades. it’s located in the Lower east side, at essex street, 19. the art show will be run from the 7th to the 28th of april 2011.

berLin’s burning ink will take place in the downtown venue and wellknown unDpLus Collabroom, located at torstrasse, 66 not far from alexander platz. from the 17th of June, the art show will end up in flames during the fashion week, on the 7th of July 2011.

each event will have a special opening, closing parties and aftershows.

a special pop up art show will be added to both events with a leather jacket series by artists ssur (La/Moscow), sbtg (singapore), supakitCh (brooklyn) & 123kLan (Montreal).

three unique painted leather jackets will be shown during the art shows with the presence of the artists. a limited edition burning ink tee shirt will be pro-duced and available to buy on site and online.

a special focus on the latest DC Limited series and Collaboration products will also be displayed during the berLin show with the special appearance of sbtg during the burning Ceremony on the 7th of July.

ssur and sbtg have previously worked and partnered with DC on several artist and Double Label projects. burning ink is an art show conceived and curated by erwann Lameignère.
