Please join photographer Mark Perrott for a talk and book signing, Saturday afternoon, November 23rd, 1-3pm, at The Butler Institute of American Art. Perrott\u2019s most recent book TATTOO WITNESS is the culmination of his forty-year odyssey documenting the ever-expanding tribe of tattooed Americans.<\/p>\n
TATTOO WITNESS comprises 140 black and white portraits along with excerpted interviews that introduce us to these subjects, and provide insight and perspective into the life events and choices that moved them to get their first tattoo. Book designer Joe Petrina\u2019s remarkable pairing of words and images, sometimes sympathetic, sometimes ironic, gives a wonderful vitality to the book.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Mark Perrott has spent decades documenting the ever-expanding tribe of tattooed Americans. He made his first portraits at Island Avenue Tattoo in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1979, and since then has explored tattoo parlors all across America. In his current series, ANCIENT INK, Perrott turns his camera to the now increasing tribe of highly decorated, aging, and graying baby boomers. Through large scale (50\u201d x 50\u201d) photographs and accompanying interviews, Perrott introduces the viewer to dozens of individuals, including Jim, a retired city planner and \u201cink addict\u201d from the 1970\u2019s; Marge, a 74 year-old former Cleveland police officer; and Henry, an 87 year-old WWII era Navy veteran. \u201cThese subjects,\u201d Perrott says, \u201cspeak of resilience, loss, transformation, mystery, and the emancipation that sometimes comes with growing old.\u201d<\/p>\n
Visit Mark Perrott\u2019s\u00a0website<\/a>\u00a0for more images and information on\u00a0Ancient Ink<\/em>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Pittsburgh native Mark Perrott has worked as a professional photographer for the past fifty years. In addition to his commercial work, which includes portraiture and photography for annual reports, Mark has lifelong, made photographs that document Pittsburgh\u2019s citizens, and its rich industrial landscape.\u00a0 In the early eighties, he gave special attention to the life and death struggle of \u201csteel\u201d in the Mon Valley, with a special focus on Pittsburgh\u2019s Jones and Laughlin steel mill and its Blast Furnace Department, informally known as \u201cEliza.\u201d Photographs from this project were used to create the book\u00a0ELIZA<\/strong>, published in 1989, by Howell Press. He went on in 1999 to publish\u00a0HOPE ABANDONED<\/strong>, a four-year investigation of Eastern State Penitentiary, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In 2013 he published his third book, E BLOCK<\/strong>, an extended photo essay of Western Penitentiary. Mark\u2019s photographs are included in the permanent collections of a number of museums, including the Carnegie Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum, The Butler Institute of American Art, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”gcid-a65cf2a6-a309-4fe8-acbd-c8892e2f73ca” divider_weight=”2px” admin_label=”Do Not Edit” _builder_version=”4.20.0″
