Skin Exhibition Date: July 15, 2016 to August 3, 2016

Location: Mission Arts

Pale as porcelain or weathered and gnarly with age, it is the living canvass we pierce, tat-

too, scar and colour to make a statement. It’s the thing that binds us and divides us.

"SKIN" a new exhibition exploring the thin layer of natural outer tissue covering the human body opens at Mission Beach Community Arts Centre on Friday 15th July 2016.

This exhibition focuses on different interpretations of skin far beyond our literal understanding of it as a familiar, physical organ. The collection of work will be both thoughtful and thought provoking, examining it against a diverse array of so-cial, physical, and cultural phenomena.
