Neo Integrity

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

March 12-30, you can see our neighborhood folks taking part in this exhibition at MoCCA:

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.
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.

Here are the locals (and please flag if we’ve missed someone): Tom Hart, Leela Corman, Gary Panter, Marguerite Dabaie

   Thanks for mentioning it!

   I just returned from hanging my and Leela’s work for the show and it’s a stunner. It will be remembered for a long time. Floor to ceiling art and comix pages. Some classics by Saul Steinberg, Al Capp, Peter Arno, along with NYC current favorites. It opens this weekend, check it out!

   Also: Tom Motley is in it. He’s in Ditmas Park/Kensington.

   I think this is one of the greatest group exhibits of comic art I’ve had the pleasure of being in. If you love comic art do not fail to see this show. (Don’t say I didn’t warn you.)
