New Stuff This Week

tenxten2013overview-585x370cTen x Ten, 2013 Edition, A Collection of Prints and Music by Chicago Artists $35.00 – Ten x Ten is a collaboration between visual artists and musicians exploring visual and auditory interaction. By challenging artists to conceptualize their work across media, Ten x Ten asks participants stretch and expand their creative process. Through producing a limited edition compilation and public presentation of the resulting artworks, Ten x Ten documents, celebrates, and promotes Chicago’s artistic community. Ten x Ten 2013 investigates the relationship between color and sound. Through exploring the underlying concepts of synesthesia, both academically and intuitively, artists and composers have worked together to produce artwork that takes the form of both a fine art print and an original score.  This project is presented by Access Contemporary Music, Homeroom, and Spudnik Press. The collection of prints includes an LP with ten unique tracks, a hand-printed folio, and a plastic protective sleeve. Featured print and song collaborations: Lilli Carre and Michael Miller, Edie Fake and Andrew Tham, Jo Dery and Jude Mathews, Aaron Renier and Brain Baxter, Chad Kouri and Marjorie Rusche, Craig Hansen and Betsy Start, Aaron Maurer and Tim Corpus, Ann Worthing and Amos Gillespie, Angee Lennard and Randall West, Renee Robbins and Seth Boustead.

Michael DeForge Talks About Ant Colony 2/8

Feb ’14
8
7:00 pm

anttour-chicagoOn Saturday, February 8th, at 7pm, join Quimby’s and Drawn and Quarterly for the launch of Michael DeForge’s darkly existential graphic novel Ant Colony! In just a few short years, DeForge’s singular, idiosyncratic style has made him an important new voice in alternative comics. Here, he will present a slideshow with a signing to follow.

Ant Colony follows the denizens of a black ant colony under attack from the nearby red ants: from its opening pages, DeForge immerses the reader in a world of false prophets, unjust wars, and corrupt police officers. On the surface, Ant Colony tells the story of this war, the destruction of a civilization, and the ants’ all-too-familiar desire to rebuild. Underneath, though, Ant Colony plumbs the deepest human concerns – loneliness, faith, love, apathy, and more. DeForge’s striking visual sensibility – stark lines, dramatic color choices, and brilliant use of page and panel space – stands out in this volume.
