I’m working on the narrative possibilities of the comic strip applied to visual
art.

Here’s an extract of the
“Blue line exhibition” text at the Southern Alberta Art
Gallery, guest curated by Michael Campbell, Janice Rahn, and Jarrett Duncan. The exhibition was on Comic art with artists like Crumb.This text illustrates what is to my eyes the power of the comics and why it can bring something fresh and vital to Contemporary Art:
“... As a medium, comics afford the possibility
of visually representing and voicing elements of the culturally callous and
grotesque, the perverse and the raucous, and the sacred or taboo elements of
everyday life. Often veiled in political correctness, comic narratives bring
unspoken voices to the forefront, in philosophical, political, and social
commentary. Using the playfulness of comedy and whimsical imagery, comics have
a way of underscoring social uneasiness, anxiety, and the hypocrisies embodied
in the human condition...”
Thank you for another great article. Where else could anyone get that kind of information in such a perfect way of writing? I have a presentation next week, and I am on the look for such information.
