[comix/art] COMIC ARTISTS EXHIBIT IN VANCOUVER
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Bfly Atelier presents
Tales from the Cold: The Comic Art of the Northwest
May 15, 2003 – May 31, 2003
Closing Ceremonies: May 31, 2003, 7pm
Gathering artists from Seattle and Vancouver (and Dave Lapp of Toronto), Bfly Atelier presents a group exhibit of one of the most under-recognized art forms of today, the art of Comics.
Displaying a thorough cross section of comic art, this exhibit ranges from work which continues to utilize the tradition of pen and ink to work which has expanded beyond the page, into sculpture and even into multi-media performance. Highlighting some of the ingenious developments in the world of comics, the exhibit looks into the past, the present, and the future, elucidating how not only the drawings but the narrative as well, have come to be refined both in technique and poeticism, communicating an awareness of self and of society.
The Comics community has long argued for the legitimacy of its medium as an art, and Bfly Atelier wishes to recognize that and present the Comic Art of the Northwest, featuring artists:
Donna Barr
Henry Chamberlain
Levi D.
Helen Eady
Ivana Filipovic
Roberta Gregory
Peter Haskell
Alan Kato
Dave Lapp
David Lasky
David Lester
James Lloyd
George Metzger
Davey Oil
Robin Thompson
Colin Upton
Dalton Webb
Meet and talk with the artists over a cup of tea for Tea Vis á Vis, Thursdays 5pm – 7pm, beginning May 15th at Bfly Atelier. $3 for delicious tea and delightful conversation.
The Closing Ceremonies, performances and lectures, for this exhibit will be held on Saturday May 31st at 7pm. Guest speakers include David Lasky and Robin Fisher. Admission is $5.
