Underground Classics:
In 2009, CAPE curated the Underground Classics exhibition, which had its debut at the Chazen Museum of Art (Madison, WI). The show featured a diverse collection of works from over 50 underground comix artists whose works came to symbolize and incorporate many of the political and social drivers of the counter-cultural movement of the 1960s in America. This show is now available for exhibition at other venues. CAPE has also partnered with the software developer Toura to develop the Comix Classics underground comix app for iPhone, Android, iPad and other mobile devices. Toura, an app platform commonly used by museums for touring exhibits, has also worked with the V&A, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the British Library.
