SUMMARY:New York\, NY: "Hard-Ass Friday Night: The Art of Spain Rodriguez" Exhibition at Andrew Edlin Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Andrew Edlin Gallery is pleased to announce Hard-Ass Friday Night: The Art of Spain Rodriguez\, its first show for the artist since announcing its representation of the estate. Curated by Dan Nadel\, this career-spanning retrospective will include unique drawings for comics from the 1960s through the 1990s alongside sketchbooks\, paintings\, and ephemera. \nSpain Rodriguez (1940-2012)\, called the “socialist soul” of the 1960s underground comics movement\, combined leftist politics\, outlaw biker adventure\, and science fiction in dynamically\ndrawn stories. He was a natural yarn spinner with an entertainer’s flair for dramatic staging\, noir cityscapes\, and striking figures. Robert Crumb\, who has called Spain a mentor\, said recently\, “His politics were driven by genuine\, authentic class anger\, class hatred. It was always clarifying\, bracing\, to discuss politics\, social and cultural issues with him.” \nRaised in Buffalo\, New York\, he attended an art trade school for a few years before working a factory job for the first part of the 1960s. In Buffalo he became a member of the Road Vultures\nMotorcycle Club\, which offered him comradery and decades of material. When Spain moved to New York’s East Village in the mid-1960s\, he began a nearly fifty-year run of publishing that\nended with his passing. He became a staff cartoonist for the most renowned of the underground newspapers\, the East Village Other\, appearing alongside the likes of Ed Sanders and Allen Ginsberg. There he introduced the world to Trashman\, Agent of the 6th International\, a kind of urban Marxist James Bond\, and the corrupt cop Manning. Original drawings from both series\nwill be on view for the first time in decades. Trashman\, in all his class-warrior glory\, is further represented by individual drawings and complete stories from the 1960s through the 1980s.\nTwo of his autobiographical comic book epics\, originally published in Zap Comix in 1975 and 1982\, will be exhibited in their entirety\, as well as a painting made in honor of the motorcycle club. \nIn 1969 Spain moved to San Francisco\, where he was invited to join Zap Comix by Robert Crumb. Two intensely detailed collaborative “jam” drawings for Zap by Spain\, Crumb\, Robert\nWilliams\, Victor Moscoso\, and S. Clay Wilson will be on view. Spain went on to either found or contribute to many of the most important underground comics\, including his own Subvert\nComics\, Insect Fear Comics\, and the seminal anthologies Arcade and Weirdo. Rare editions of these comic books\, as well as underground newspapers\, flyers\, sketchbooks\, and art from Spain’s personal collection by the likes of Robert Crumb\, Gilbert Shelton\, Willy Mendes\, and Johnny Craig will offer historical and visual context for Spain’s life and work. \nExhibition Events:\nOpening Reception\nFebruary 12\, 3–7pm at Andrew Edlin Gallery \nRobert Crumb and Aline Kominsky-Crumb in conversation with exhibition curator Dan Nadel\nFebruary 24\, 1pm EST on Zoom \nBad Attitude: The Art of Spain Rodriguez film screening with dir. Susan Stern and Kim Deitch\nMarch 24\, 6:30pm at Andrew Edlin Gallery

SUMMARY:Minneapolis\, MN: Tom Kaczynski (Beta Testing the Ongoing Apocalypse) Book Signing at Moon Palace Books
DESCRIPTION:Please join Moon Palace Books to celebrate the release of Tom Kaczynski’s new book\, Beta Testing the Ongoing Apocalypse! Customers will be asked to wear masks in the store\, in the line\, and when they approach the signing table\, and to maintain social distance while in line. \nIn this new\, expanded edition\, the starting point is arbitrary. From there\, the city expands in all directions. At once SF\, a contemporary demonology\, an occult theory\, a mutant utopia and an architectural treatise\, Beta Testing the Ongoing Apocalypse is a collection of graphic fictions about the contemporary global megalopolis. \nThis groundbreaking collection\, originally published in an Eisner-nominated\, smaller edition a decade ago\, has only proven more prescient and resonant to our contemporary times than ever. For this new edition\, Kaczynski created the original stories “Billion Dollar Budget” and “Rediscovery of the Real” and annotations. There’s also a new foreword by science fiction writer Christopher Brown (Tropic of Kansas) and an entirely new cover design. Tom Kaczynski’s graphic short stories trace a complex space-time trajectory from the smallest corporate cubicle out to farthest fathoms of the multiverse. Occult economics\, metaphysical traffic jams\, Marxist zombies on Mars\, secret architectural societies\, designer ghosts from the future\, and demographics demons are just a few elements of a new untested future eschatology.
