Since 2010, I have had the good fortune to collaborate with Oliver Baudach on four traveling sticker exhibitions. Oli is the founder and director of Hatch Kingdom Sticker Museum in Berlin, Germany, the world’s first and only of its kind. Our international collections complement each other well in that his collection of over 30,000 stickers focuses on urban art/artists and street and skateboard culture, while my collection of over 18,000 stickers focuses on sociopolitical stickers.
Digital image files of our scanned stickers are also sorted by themes, countries, and dates. Scroll down to see examples from Paper Bullets: 100 Years of Political Stickers from around the World and from Re-Writing the Streets: The International Language of Stickers.
Each exhibition is listed below with links to more information including curators’ statements, exhibition contents, artists, and installation photos. Fees vary depending on exhibition scope and venues; a fine arts shipper is preferred. Our ultimate goal is to present a comprehensive exhibition from both our collections in a major museum or arts center. Unlike other exhibitions of stickers pulled off the streets, our exhibitions include only original, unused stickers.
