RIDES OF PASSAGE SNOWBOARD ART EXHIBIT

Curated by Bruce Bart and Curse Mackey and co-sponsored by BURTON SNOWBOARDS and TATTOO ARTIST MAGAZINE, this exhibit features 117 BURTON Snowboards painted, mangled, mauled, carved, made pretty, or pretty dangerous by some of the world's finest tattooists, visionary artists, graffiti artists, and illustrators.

The phenomenal exhibit is currently on a World Tour. It debuted as part of Bart and Mackey’s Woodstock Tattoo & Body Arts Festival in Sept. 2004 and had enormously successful openings in New York City at Milk Gallery, Los Angeles at La Lu De Jesus Gallery and Burlington at JDK Design. There were also three showings in Austria as part of the BURTON SNOWBOARDS World Tour as well as a recent trip to the Netherlands.

RIDES OF PASSAGE

The openings have been a blast with many of the artists, celebrities, press, as well as some of the top pro snowboard riders in the world in attendance. The exhibit will travel to Japan in the winter of 2005 insuring its place as one of the most well received contemporary art exhibits of recent years. RIDES OF PASSAGE is also the largest exhibit of fine art works by tattoo artists ever assembled. The December show in Osaka, at WORKSPACE, is sponsored by BURTON SNOWBOARDS, JUXTAPOZ and TATTOO ARTIST MAGAZINE.
