Housed in the back of a custom retrofitted 1970 aluminum stepvan, Axle Contemporary is an art gallery on wheels. We exhibit contemporary art from New Mexico: installation, performance, works on paper, painting, and sculpture. Our mobility allows us to visit both typical art venues and events and unusual ones, such as schools, empty lots, restaurants, grocery stores, and city streets.
Our 6-x-10-foot exhibition space features high wood ceilings, exposed beams, track lighting and a magnetically based system for displaying unframed works on paper.

Axle Contemporary was founded in 2010 by artists Matthew Chase-Daniel and Jerry Wellman, as a collaborative work of art, and an innovative vehicle for arts distribution. It has since grown beyond the confines of the mobile exhibition space, and also includes book publishing, and alternative methods of creation and dissemination of contemporary arts in the public sphere.
