One of the exhibited works for "Yo!
What Happened to Peace?" (yowhathappenedtopeace.org) a pro-peace/anti-war group show of hand-made prints in opposition to the invasion and occupation of Iraq.
The show was originally held in Tokyo, and then expanded to travel across the U.S. The brainchild of L.A. based artist John Carr, “Yo!” began in 2002 during the run-up to the war in Iraq.
Being a printmaker, Carr wanted to put together a travelling exhibit that was not only a political expression, but a celebration of the fine art of printmaking. Instead of machine printed reproductions, the show consists entirely of handcrafted prints— silkscreens, lithographs, linocuts, woodcuts, and stencils.
