JS combines the most personal expressions -- drawings,
calligraphy, photography, collage -- with the most common materials
gleaned at the Brussels flea market, in his series of artist books.
The
talk centers on the way J curates AJS Gallery exhibits in the
context of the ongoing curation of memory, imagination, and artistic
creation -- illustrated with images from his books, letterpress
printing, paintings, objects, BESITOS digital movies, installations, and
other works.
Doug will focus on The Concrete Jungle Book,
a hybrid graphic novel wherein the protagonist and nominal author of
the book curates his own comics, prose narration, and collage in a
scrapbook that recreates the story of his life from age 8 to 18.
The presentation includes the world premiere public screening of the animated trailer video for The Concrete Jungle Book
produced by NYLON Films, video and this screening courtesy of TCJB
co-author Steve Porter and the trailer's producer, Annette Porter.
The presentation also examines J's artistic response to The Concrete Jungle Book and at the JUNKYARD KNIFE collaboration that began with the two-man show curated by J at AJS Gallery in November 2010.
