Description

For Ladies and Clean-shaven men: Little Black Moustache and Rosy-Red Cheeks Temporary Tattoos. 50 of each style - mix and match! Amaze your friends! Confuse your pets and children! As seen on the Work Ethic Show on View at the Wexner Center for the Arts. By Hope Ginsburg

Ginsburg is currently at work producing small novelties of the sort found in Cracker Jack boxes. Entitled The Novelty Project (2002-2003), the first works are temporary tattoos designed to be purchased at a nominal cost and worn by the viewer. The Little Black Moustache is a pencil-thin vaudevillesque moustache tattoo. When it is worn, the viewer/wearer is thrown into a space of heightened self-awareness, open to innumerable questions from friends, family, and mere passerby. The Little Black Moustache is accompanied by the Rosy Red Cheek tattoos, bright red circles in the vein of Raggedy Ann. Ginsburg advises, “They’re for flirty days, when the elegance of the Little Black Moustache is too severe.”
