Faggy Tats by Joshua C. Rains

As part of Yuval Pudik's exhibition, The Hom(o)stead Act: Kaiserpanorama, NOON Projects presents Faggy Tats by Joshua Rains, a two-day pop-up tattoo parlor inside The Cavity, the hidden space within Pudik’s installation.

Rains, a Chicago-based artist and tattooer, will be offering flash tattoos created especially for this event, drawing inspiration from the hyper-erotic collages featured in The Cavity and in dialogue with the line drawings of Andy Warhol and Jean Cocteau. Rooted in drawing, Rains’ work links the intimacy of mark-making to the history of queer art, echoing Pudik’s meditation on spectatorship, desire, and belonging.
