Art Spiegelman

Spinning on Air | May 18, 2010
Comix artist Art Spiegelman returns to Spinning On Air, along with artist/writer Jessica Abel, and Lawrence Klein and Kent Worcester of the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art (MOCCA). This Sunday, June 22, MOCCA is sponsoring their second annual Art Festival which is a large, diverse gathering of creators and small press publishers of unusual comics, and their readers. Spiegelman, who won the Pulitzer Prize for his book Maus, will bring us up to date on his recent work, and Abel, whose books include Artbabe and La Perdida, will tell us about her projects. With host David Garland, all will discuss changes in style and status in the field of comics. Also, music by cartoonists, and more!
The MOCCA Art Festival takes place Sunday, June 22, from 11am-7pm, at the Puck Building, 293 Lafayette Avenue (at Houston) in Manhattan. Further details on the MOCCA Art Festival.
