The exhibition "Yo! What Happed To Peace?" is an international artist....This exhibition features posters on the theme of love for peace, opposition to war, and opposition to occupation, with graphic artists and printmakers participating.

Approximately 150 posters using traditional printmaking techniques by artists who love peace will be exhibited, and most of them will be sold immediately (except some works). In addition, many goods designed by participating artists, such as T-shirts and mugs, will be sold.

Participating artists and curators

The artists participating in the exhibition include Lobby Cornell, Eric Dollcker, Winston Smith, Seth Tobokuman, Edward Karber, who are well-known for their political works, as well as Shepherd Fairy, Futula, Debit Ellis, Kenji, Dors Green, Greens, and others who are famous street art artists. In addition, silk screen Emek, known as print artists, Chuck Sperry & Ron Donovan (Fire House) Eymets Blos, Serigray Poplar Rie, Lucky Bunny, Key Rock & Ulfy, Jellywood Conner (Mexican Chocolate Design) and Gary Huston (Cabuo) are also participating.
The curator of the exhibition is John Car, a graphic artist, and his work, the political poster, was The Nation Magazine and Italy's. It has been used as the cover of Internazionale magazine and is also used as the cover of Michael Moore's fourth work, Idiot Nation.

In June 2005, Japanese artists participated in the event at the Parco Museum.

This time, Erotic, a Japanese female artist active in Japan Dragon and Hayaki Chiko participated. I was asked to express peace from a woman's point of view. Erotic Dragon is an artist who has just published music-related visual production and recently published a collection of works by German publisher Gestalten, "LIFE of BUDDHA", and has been active in a wide range of interior art production. In addition, Hayachiko is an illustrator with clients all over the world with images that always target women, such as fashion and cosmetics. The expressions from such a fresh perspective will add color to the exhibition at the Parco Museum.
He is also a member of BARNSTORMERS, a popular artist group in Europe and the United States, and as a graphic artist, MADSAKI, who expands his range of activities, including publishing murals, videos, and works, as well as publishing a collection of works in collaboration with him, and Shield Takahashi, a designer of the fashion brand "Undercover", which is extremely popular among the younger generation. In addition, he is an art director with a wide range of activities and numerous award-winning calendars, including advertising and product development such as Smap and Honda Step Wagon, store and space design. / Creative Director Kashiwa Sato has also decided to participate.

Origin, and present progressive form

The exhibition was originally held in the spring of 2003 at CWC the in Tokyo. It was held by the sponsor of Gallery, but at that time only 14 posters by 14 artists were exhibited. After that, he held a traveling exhibition, and now more than 150 works have been gathered, and they are still expanding and proliferating.

Traditional printmaking methods

Another highlight of this exhibition is that all of the works on display are beautiful works that follow the traditional printmaking method. All the works are made by the artist himself with silkscreen, etching, pressed letters, woodcuts and stencil, and there is no digital or commercial printed matter at all.

Expression of wish for peace

Through the analog art of printmaking, I would like to expand the meaninglessness of war against people and opposition to violence. And the people said, "Yo! What happened to peace? (What happened to peace?) "I hope that the world will naturally be expressed in conversations, and I will continue to express my position clearly to end the ongoing Iraq war.
