Sally Stein and Las Terminas In Dicey Times ... Voting Matters Most!

October 11 - November 6, 2024

The present work, created expressly for the Proxy Gallery and titled “In dicey times… voting matters most!” combines symbolism and literalism to powerful effect: The title already prefigures a contradiction: Dice, the aleatory, stand for chance, while voting stands for the strong desire to make a difference in the outcome of the elections. Both these versions are true: the elections could go this way or that, but what is at stake is democracy itself.

The exhibition is accompanied by a postcard designed by the media duo Sally Stein and Stephen Callis, AKA “Las Terminas” who have been presenting political postcards and other agitprop graphics intermittently for decades. This card derives from the famous etching The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters by the Spanish painter and printmaker Francisco de Goya modified with graphic intervention by Stein and Callis of Trump and his followers.
