Danmarks internationale tegneseriebiennale, Komiks.dk, der for fjerde gang løber af stablen i Øksnehallen, København, 21-23 maj, 2010, melder nu endnu en gæst, tegneren Frank Quitely — klart den mest originale tegner i amerikansk mainstream i dag. Han er særligt kendt for sit arbejde med den mest originale forfatter i branchen, Grant Morrison (lad os håbe…
Berlingske viser lidt fremsyn — tillykke Ib! Mere Mongo her.
Thorhauge her! Lige pludselig sker der en masse, og det er jo både fedt og spændende, men kæden er røget af min planlægning og jeg er bagefter med ALTING, suk… Anyway, jeg har en del offentlige arragementer i den kommende tid, samt – ta-daa! – premiere på min splinternye tegneserie, Clint Eastwood! Her følger programmet:…
As part of its series of open lectures, the Danish Design School is offering a talk by internationally famed artists Paul Davis and David Shrigley on Wednesday, November 11th, 9-12 AM.
My pal, the sculptor and designer, Ask Emil Skovgaard has an exhibition coming up at Brøndsalen, Frederiksberg, Copenhagen. It opens on November 13th at 7PM, and runs through that week till the 18th. Go check it out if you’re in town — he is a consummate craftsman and his work is rich on visual ideas.
Next week it’s time for this year’s CPH:DOX — the great international documentary festival held annually in Copenhagen. It’s always worth checking out the programme, and I urge you especially to consider two of the films being screened there, if nothing else because I can vouch for some of the people involved. Firstly, director Ada…
If you anywhere near, do check out the extensive programme of the just opened, month-long comics festival I seriernas värld (‘In the World of Comics’) taking place in Malmö, Sweden until 22 November. It comprises many events, exhibitions, workshops and the like. Much more information here. Illo by Johanna Kristiansson.
Ja, så har de gode folk bag komiks.dk afsløret endnu en udenlandsk gæst til næste års festival (21-23 maj, 2010), og det er ingen ringere end Dave Gibbons, der animerede klassiske 2000AD-strips som “Rogue Trooper” og fik Watchmen helt op at ringe med sine fuldkomment kongeniale tegninger og siden har stået for solide mainstreamtegneserier af…
Har allerede reklameret for arrangementet, men synes lige jeg ville smide den officielle flyer op.
Check Thorhauges anmeldelse af Philippe Goddins Hergés liv og værk bind 2 ovre hos Politiken. Og samtidig kan I læse Bunkerens anmeldelse af Goddins store Hergé-biografi lige her.
Obama’s career up to now, lucky as it was, had been wanting in singular achievements for which he alone was responsible. His experience seems not to have taught him the law of natural selection in politics by which majorities are put together out of remainders. Any act that achieves something concrete will leave small multitudes…
The picks of the week from around the web. Commonweal: “Culture and Barbarism”. Terry Eagleton offers a compelling analysis of today’s fault lines between secularism and religion, which he analyses in terms of a dialectic of civilization and culture. A thoughtful corrective to the new atheists and an unsettling entreaty for us to confront the…
Der er åbenbart ikke en ende på de gode nyheder for næste års internationale tegneseriefestival i København, Komiks.dk. Ware-Clowes-synergien lader til at have trukket tredje del af kløveret med sig, så festivalen nu også kan præsentere Charles Burns som officiel gæst! Burns er endnu en af mestrene indenfor den fornyelse af tegneserien, vi har set…
The picks of the week from around the web. Things are on the DL here at the Bunker for the moment — last stretch of dissertation — but I do have a few nice comics links I wanted to share with everyone who hasn’t already seen them and recommend to anyone who has skipped them.…
Den mangeårige norske tegneseriekritiker og -aktivist Tor Arne Hegna har netop oprettet en nyt kritisk website for tegneserier, Seriekritikk.no. Det er en overbygning på det nu hedengagne Tegneserier.no, som han bestyrede mellem 2003-2007 og rummer det sites arkiv, der tæller et opbud at solide kritiske anmeldelser. Tor Arne opdfordrer til både debat og deltagelse, så…
