WHAT: Axis of Evil: The Secret History of Sin
Axis of Evil is an international exhibition featuring 47 stamp artists from eleven countries, thematically peeking into the depths of sin in search of the evils in our world and culture.
Curated by Chicago-based artist Michael Hernandez de Luna, the exhibition includes work by artists from Russia, Mexico, England, Japan, Italy, Switzerland, France, Canada, the former Yugoslavia, Uruguay and the U.S.A.
"The results are a provocative visual labyrinth in social commentary, reflecting a historical parallel to protest art of the 60s and 70s," says Hernandez. "Every piece has one aim, to define evil through the print making form of the postage stamp sheet. We can truly say that this exhibition is a carnival of images and adjectives that can be described by the alphabet's A's through Z's."
This exhibition originated with the book Axis of Evil: Perforated Praeter Naturam, published by Qualiatica Press in 2004.
