We are happy to announce that a screening of Ed Hardy Tattoo The World will be shown at UCLA’s Hammer Museum on Tuesday, September 21st 2010. Tickets are on a first come, first serve basis at 7pm. The Los Angeles Times’ Max Padilla has a write-up in today’s LA Times about filmmaker Emiko Omori’s new movie about Ed’s life and times.

The following day on Wednesday the 22nd of September the Laguna Art Museum in Laguna Beach, which is still showing Ed Hardy’s Tat Cat Shack in their Art Shack exhibit, will also show a screening of Emiko’s new biopic on Ed at 7pm. Again, seating is limited, and on a first come, first serve basis, so plan to arrive early if you want a seat!

Ed and the crew are putting the final touches on a “modern” remodel of the original the “Tattoo Hut” art installation that was a highlight of Hardy’s first show at Track 16 Gallery in Santa Monica,1997.

Once again, the claustrophobic structure evokes the spooky tiny tattoo parlors of the 1950s – but this time the entire design theme is of the iconic mid-20th century tattoo, the black panther. The Tat Cat Shack will transport you back into a time you never knew existed, before tattoos were part of the trendy mainstream.

Art Shack is a group exhibition in which artists such as Mark Ryden, Don Ed Hardy, Shag, and Mike Shine create experimental shack environments offering a physical immersion between our experiences of the real world and that of the artists.

Art Shack is guest curated by Greg Escalante and will be open at Laguna Museum of Art from June 13 – October 3, 2010
