The show was inspired by artist Cady Noland's 1987 essay "Towards a Metalanguage of E V I L" and built around socially acceptable forms of violence used to express that discontent.

Multigenerational women artists spanning 50 years, who pushed the boundary of cut-up techniques across media, including sculpture, video, sound art, painting, performance, printed matter, poetry, and photography.
