In 2011, Axle Contemporary created the Haiku Roadsign Project: 32 Haiku by New Mexico-based poets, 2 per week on a portable roadsign in 16 locations around the streets of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Includes photos, poems, and essays by Matthew Chase-Daniel & Jerry Wellman, Joan Logghe, and Laura Addison.

For millennia, humans have struggled with the linguistic conundrum of describing what is inherently indescribable, in naming the unnameable. As soon as words are used, meaning is lost. The same conundrum exists in science and art. This exhibition is a method of enquiry into this philosophical, scientific, religious, and artistic topic. Inspired by artists and writers such as Yves Klein, John Cage, Agnes Martin, Gertrude Stein, and T.S Eliot, we draw on thinkers from Maimonides to Lao Tzu, Werner Heisenberg, Jean-Paul Sartre, and more.
