Recovering Western Tattooing: Anna Friedman Herlihy, co-curator of Freaks & Flash, will present a talk on the history of tattooing in the West from the 1500s through 1900s. From shipwrecked sailors to fur traders to religious pilgrims, this talk will reveal that Western tattooing has a longer and more complex history than is commonly believed. Anna is an instructor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in Art History, Liberal Arts, and Visual and Critical Studies and teaches classes on the history and culture of body art and material culture. She will also be available after the talk to answer any questions about artworks in the exhibit. |

Intuit: The Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art promotes public awareness, understanding, and appreciation of intuitive and outsider art through education, exhibition, collecting and publishing. Intuit defines ‘intuitive and outsider art’ as the work of artists who demonstrate little influence from the mainstream art world, and who instead are motivated by their unique personal vision. This definition includes art brut, non-traditional folk art, self-taught art, and visionary art. |
