Fantagraphics Art Show at MCAD
Last year MCAD had a show featuring the comic artists from the pages of Kramer's Ergot and now this Spring we will get some more top notch artists from the world of the funny pages. Fantagraphics is one of the finest comics publishers in the world.
This show is made up of artists that have been featured in Fantagraphic's quarterly comics anthology MOME. I highly reccomend this show as it is rare to have the works of so many graphic artists in one place.
When: March 6 - April 19, 2009
Where: MCAD Gallery: Concourse Gallery
Reception: Friday, March 6, 6-8 p.m.
Gallery Talk with Tom Kaczynski and Zak Sally: Thursday, April 9, 6:30 p.m.
Will Potter speaking in Minnesota
I have often written about and praised the work of Will Potter over at Green Is The New Red. Will is coming to the Twin Cities for a speech at the Humphrey Institute. His talk is entitled, "The Green Scare: Using Terrorism Laws to Silence Political Activists".
His website covers news and actions that have been taken by the state and federal legislatures to control the behavior of activist groups in our country by labeling them as terrorists.
Will's writing and speeches start with Animal and Environmental rights groups but then branches out to cover the effects that corporations have on laws written to keep citizens from objecting to any method that they might use to turn a profit.
Here is the info you need for the event:
Thursday, February 12, 7pm, Cowles Auditorium, Humphrey Institute, 301 19th Avenue South, on the West Bank of the University of Minnesota's Minneapolis campus
This event is sponsored by Animal RIghts Coalition
Share a little anarchy with those you love
My favorite cudly anarchist comic has a new sticker for sale. Minimum Security is a daily stop for those who wish to crush the state or just hate the materialistic side in ourselves. So there is nothing hypicritical at all about selling stickers, books and t-shirts; as long as you still are against the Man.
