The idea behind Open Arms is a simple, gross and awesome:
2 L.A. guys, each with a tattooed spot on one of their forearms, provide those spots as a space for artists to create work. But John Barlog and John Burtle don’t really think of themselves as curators like someone running a conventional gallery might — they just want to show art anytime and anywhere they can, even if that means being tied together, getting glue in their arm hair, or having little objects taped or strapped on their skin.
