Panels at Image Duplicator Show & London LitFest!
Posted: May 19, 2013
I’m looking forward this coming week to being involved in two lively panel discussions of comics and their relationships with art and with literature. This Thursday May 23rd from 7.30pm, as part of the Image Duplicator exhibition on show at the Orbital Comics Gallery, I am joining artists and exhibition co-curators Jason Atomic and Rian Hughes and A&D Gallery director Daniel Brant to discuss the Roy Lichtenstein Controversy and consider whether, and if so when, it is appropriate to ‘appropriate’ popular culture, in particular comics, in art. Come and join in the debate- and yes, it’s free!
And then on Sunday May 26th at 2pm, I am off to the Purcell Room on London’s South Bank to chair Drawing The Story with Mary Talbot, writer and co-author with Bryan Talbot of the Costa Biography prize-winning graphic biography, Dotter of Her Father’s Eyes, Glyn Dillon, creator of The Nao of Brown (above), and Stephen Collins, cartoonist for The Guardian and author of the excellent debut graphic novel The Gigantic Beard That Was Evil. We’ll be discussing comics status and potential in literature and beyond. Tickets cost £10, hope to see you there!
