Carrier Pigeon Artists” Sacred Gallery, NYC, 2011

New World Iliads, #1- Flux Theatre Ensemble/Carrier Pigeon

"What an amazing night! I think this was one of our best ForePlays ever, in part because of the quality of scripts; in part because of the pairing of actors with roles and Kelly's playful direction; in part because of the beauty of the space and the spirit of the crowd; with all of the parts cohering into a really enjoyable whole.

It was also our first time partnering with Carrier Pigeon, the amazing fine arts and illustrated fiction magazine. Artist Frances Jetter shared a work to help inspire the playwrights, and she spoke with us a little about her process. If you have not yet become a subscriber to this gorgeous publication, we highly recommend it." By August Schulenburg

“Ink Plots: the Tradition of the Graphic Novel”, Visual Arts Gallery, Chelsea, NYC, October 10- November 6, 2010

School of Visual Arts (SVA) presents “Ink Plots: The Tradition of the Graphic Novel at SVA,” an exhibition of original drawings, books, prints and animation by over 100 artists. “Ink Plots” traces the development of sequential art over four decades with selections by SVA faculty members and showcases the work of SVA alumni who are pushing the boundaries of the graphic novel today. “Ink Plots” is curated by Marshall Arisman, chair of the MFA Illustration as Visual Essay Department, and Thomas Woodruff, chair of the BFA Illustration and Cartooning Department.

“‘Ink Plots’ pays tribute to some of the most important artists responsible for the invention and development of the graphic novel,” says co-curator Arisman. “The years many of these artists spent teaching at SVA has greatly influenced the present generation of graphic novelists.”

Participating current and former SVA faculty members include Sal Amendola, R. O. Blechman, Sue Coe, Will Eisner, Tom Gill, Edward Gorey, Burne Hogarth, Klaus Janson, Frances Jetter, Ben Katchor, Peter Kuper, Harvey Kurtzman, Keith Mayerson, David Mazzucchelli, Jerry Moriarty, Mark Newgarden, Gary Panter, Jerry Robinson, David Sandlin, Walter Simonson and Art Spiegelma

NeoIntegrity: Comics Edition

Museum of Comic and Cartooning Art, NYC.
March 12 – August 2010


Neointegrity: Comics Edition is an exhibition curated by artist Keith Mayerson that includes over 210 cartoonists, illustrators, animators, and fine artists who work with the spirit and power of iconographic languages.  With creators young and old, historic, currently famous, and soon-to-be-famous, the exhibition is also about the community and legacy of iconographic art and its ability to productively influence the world.  NeoIntegrity: Comics Edition includes such artist as Peter Arno, Mark Badger, Ruben Bolling, Jeffrey Brown, Robert Crumb, Liza Donnelly, Bill Griffith, Peter Halley, Mike Kelley, Jack Kirby, Moebius, Patrick McDonnell, Diane Noomin, Art Spiegelman, Raina Telgemeier, Chris Ware, Lauren Weinstein, Gahan Wilson, Basil Wolverton and many more. For the full list, please visit here.
Originally conceived as a utopic attempt to begin an art movement, the first installment of the NeoIntegrity show was held in the summer of 2007 at Derek Eller Gallery in New York City.  That show incorporated over 180 fine artists, with some cartoonists and illustrators mixed in to breach questions of high and low, rarified and pluralistic.  NeoIntegrity: Comics Edition takes the proposal a step further, showing the relatability of creators harnessing the iconographic vehicle to express themselves and to tell stories for a culture to understand itself in order for it to become a better place.
