Underworld Amusements presents:

GERMOPHILIA

GERMOPHILIA is about loving the disease. The disease is one of this world, the reason why your parents lied about there being a god and the Easter bunny. It’s the flesh, the darkness, the idea that freedom is not given – but taken. GERMOPHILIA presents a collection of artists with a wide range of styles and mediums together to serve as a catalyst to spread just that sickness…
The cutesy cheesecake of Stacey Barich will stir the loins, the totalitarian and infernal collage and painting of Peter H. Gilmore (Church of Satan), the disturbing clash of beauty and tragedy of the photos of Christopher R. Mealie (SexCats!), the worship of strength found in the paintings of Jack Malebranche (author of Androphilia: A Manifesto), the perverse misanthropy of Stephanie Crabe (Motel Bizarre), the haunting dreamworld canvasses of Stephen Kasner (Stephen Kasner: Works 1993-2006), and more. Nine artists presenting a collective picture of the world that subverts that status quo without slipping into the arms of the usual suspects. As a thirst for knowledge is a sin, GERMOPHILIA is a disease that will feed your eyes, mind and passion.

Underworld Amusements Variety Hour conducted interviews with all of the artists participating in the show and made them availablevia podcast. Available from the UA website,  iTunes, and RadioFreeSatan.com. Two truncated versions of the print catalog are available in PDF form to view along with the podcasts.
