Apparently, Comics Comics has been selected as one of the blogs featured on a new comics blog “aggregator”, Comic-Feed. I can’t vouch for all the blogs on their list, but the ones I’m familiar with are pretty good, so if you like reading about comic books while you’re using a computer, it may be worth checking out.
Dan’s Art Out of Time just won the Harvey for Best Biographical, Historical or Journalistic Presentation! Usually when the big industry awards are announced, the winners are underwhelming at best. This one is well-deserved. I imagine most readers of this blog are already familiar with the book, but if you’re not, go pick it up. It’s really astonishingly good.
Meanwhile, Dan is busy frolicking in the Greek isles. I hate Dan.
I’m in Athens, Greece with Brian Chippendale, Jungil Hong and Paper Rad for a show I’m curating for the Athens Biennial. The gang is creating a massive, mind blowing installation here in an abandoned Chinese grocery. We found some good old Italian (or Spanish?) comics–Serafino–translated into Greek. Good stuff. Anyhow, if you happen to be in Athens seeing lame stuff like, oh, I dunno, The Parthenon, come see the sure sign that the enlightened thought pioneered by ye ol Greeks has surely come to an end in this, our show. It opens Saturday, if we all make it that far.
