Things To Do In New York This Week If You Like Comics
Tuesday, April 29th
The eighty-fourth meeting of the NY Comics & Picture-story Symposium will be held on Tuesday, April 29, 2014 at 7:00 PM at Parsons The New School, 2 West 13th Street, in the Bark Room (off the lobby) in New York City. The event is free and open to the public.
The presentation will be by Zoe Beloff. Beloff says: "I will talk about my thoughts on the concept "picture stories" in terms of drawing and film. I will discuss how these two mediums of expression form a dialog in my work, showing examples from three recent projects. The first, Adventures of a Dreamer by Albert Grass is a comic book that belongs to the archive of the Coney Island Amateur Psychoanalytic Society. The second, "The Days of the Commune" is a project that encompassed drawing, life performance and cinema. Finally I will present fragments of my current work in progress, "The Glass House" a film that speculates on a scenario by Serge Eisenstein which he proposed to Paramount in 1930 and explores his ideas on the interaction of drawing, animation and live action cinema."
