"The Misadventures of the Romantic Cannibals"

 The destruction of the Enrique Chagoya lithograph "The Misadventures of the Romantic Cannibals" by Kathleen Folden at the Loveland Museum Gallery was the direct result of inflammatory and false descriptions of the print.

The premeditated destruction was fomented by the defamation of Enrique Chagoya and his work by Daryle Klassen, Deacon Edward Armijo, Fox News, news Channels 4 and 9, The Denver Post and many other news media, blogs and individuals. They all made statements that the lithograph “The Misadventures of the Romantic Cannibals” was “smut,” “filth,” “porn,” “obscene,” and depicted “Jesus having oral sex”. Statements that were unfounded and not proven.

We deplore the violence and intolerance of this act. It is an insidious form of coercive censorship.

Recent Visitors

We have had recent visitors to the studio, including four elk that fought each other, exhausted themselves, ate our birdseed and rested right outside our windows.

Don Ed Hardy, Hung Liu and Enrique Chagoya came for the Logan Conversation at the MCA Denver on Feb 24th. This program was in conjunction with our exhibition which will be on view through the 28th of June. The conversation was lively, funny and offered insights into our collaborations and the making of the prints.

Hardy stayed on to work on a new lithograph and group of monotypes. The lithograph is Free Range & Howboy. We'll be printing the edition this week.
