THE ATOMIC SALON
ARTISTS AGAINST NUCLEAR WAR
OPENING WEDNESDAY JUNE 9
RECEPTION 6-8 PM

"Thus do all states face each other now: they presuppose bad intentions on their neighbor’s part and good ones on their own. The so-called armed peace, as it prevails in every country at present, is that disquieted disposition which trusts neither itself nor its neighbor and, half from hatred, half from fear, will not lay down its arms."
Friedrich Nietzche circa 1870*
