The Art of Democracy Is a National Coalition of Art Exhibitions
on the Dire State of American Politics Scheduled for the Fall of 2008.

The Great Tortilla Conspiracy will appear at Warnock Fine Arts on October 9, 5:00 – 8:00 p.m.

The Great Tortilla Conspiracy is the world’s most dangerous tortilla art collective. Modeling themselves after the Free Masons, artists Jos Sances, Rene Yañez, and Rio Yañez bring the gospel of tortilla art to the masses like no other. The Great Tortilla Conspiracy uses the tortilla as a canvas to make art accessible to the masses. As a medium tortillas have the ability to expose the community to a wide range of issues. The Conspiracy uses their art to raise issues related to identity, immigration, miracle tortilla apparitions, the high price of tortillas in Mexico, and the rise of Transgenic Corn. The genetic engineering of corn is something that is impacting millions of people in the United States and Mexico and they address their concerns with it through their artwork and mischief.

We will feature same day digital printing and heat transferring of images on tortillas. Artists and the public alike can witness the process of permanently bonding an image onto a tortilla.
