BRAIN FRAME Performative Comix Series Celebrates Second Anniversary at the Co-Prosperity Sphere 7/28

BF13bradscanBRAIN FRAME is a series of performative comix readings. Every other month for two years, BRAIN FRAME has showcased an eclectic mix of sequential artists interpreting their work via projections, puppetry, music, costumes, props, lectures, and performance. In honor of its 2nd anniversary, BRAIN FRAME 13 will include a raffle, art exhibit, market, and four of the most ambitious performances yet.

Brain Frame 13 includes gallery show, mini-market, and four extraordinary performances.

“It’s made me cry tears of joy and laugh food into my nose and I look forward to it every month as if it were Halloween or something.” -The Comics Journal

On Sunday, July 28th, 5p, at the Co-Prosperity Sphere (3221 S Morgan St) ($8), Lyra Hill’s BRAIN FRAME celebrates its second birthday.

BRAIN FRAME 13 will feature the comics art collective Trubble Club; Jeremy Tinder; Sara Drake; and a collaboration by BRAIN FRAME accompanist Night Terror (Tyson Torstensen) and Lyra Hill. A limited edition poster co-designed by Hill and Ignatz-Award winning NYC cartoonist Lale Westvind will also be unveiled at the show. Previously, the show has featured high-profile artists like Anne Elizabeth Moore, Edie Fake, and Jim Trainor, as well as up-and-comers like Andy Burkholder, Halle Butler, and Kevin Budnik.

Hill, a comics artist and experimental filmmaker recently featured on Community Cinema’s Wonderwomen panel at the Cultural Center, doesn’t just curate BRAIN FRAME — she hosts, does tech and promo, and co-designs each poster. At BRAIN FRAME 13, she’ll be performing on stilts in full costume, with a smoke machine and three analog projectors. “I encourage the readers to be as weird and ambitious as possible,” she says, “I try to lead by good example.”

Trubble Club will debut a similarly zealous performance at BRAIN FRAME 13. The jam-comics collective will begin the show with an interactive presentation of The Infinite Corpse, a revolutionary open-submission online comic with no beginning and no end. Following the adventures of everyman skeleton Corpsey, the path of The Infinite Corpse will be dictated by the audience as Trubble Club members try to keep up.

Guests at BRAIN FRAME 13 can look forward to a mini-market with comics, zines, and t-shirts from BRAIN FRAME artists; a gallery show; and raffle with prizes like a set of BRAIN FRAME posters, a deer pelt, a certificate to Bang Bang Pie Co., a portrait by Trubble Club, and more.

BRAIN FRAME has grown steadily since the first show, in scope as well as audience. Saturday, July 27th at 11:30am, a day prior to BRAIN FRAME 13, the MCA will host BRAIN FRAME LIT, a writing-focused comix reading, as part of its Comics Day activities. BRAIN FRAME is “the world’s most exciting comic book reading series,” Edie Fake told The Comics Journal. This coming year, Chicago will export a native gem as Hill tours around the country, hosting one-off shows with local cartoonists.

Chicago Zine Fest Organizer & Volunteer Opportunities

czflogo

A word from Chicago Zine Fest (which usually happens in the spring):

“The Chicago Zine Fest is looking for volunteers interested in helping us gear up for CZF 2014! All levels of involvement are available, including full-time organizer positions and new lead volunteer roles created this year to help streamline the organizing process! Please email us at chicagozinefest(at)gmail(dot)com if you’re interested in being involved and having a hand in a great and rewarding event! Thanks!”

Donate Your Zine For a Good Cause

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

The Fargo-Moorhead Zine Fest is looking for donations of zines for an upcoming “Free Zine Day” event that will coincide with a 24 hour zine-athon.  The zine scene in Fargo-Moorhead is currently very small, so FMZF has been holding events prior to the zine fest to increase awareness of and interest in zines.

Here’s what they have in mind:

Fargo-Moorhead Zine Fest is happening on September 7th, 2013 in Fargo, ND. About a month before the fest, in early August, FMZF Auxiliary Programs will be hosting a 24 hour zine-athon.  To create additional community around this event, there will be a Free Zine Day give away, if they can get some zines donated. That’s where you come in. If you can spare even just one or two copies of your zine to help support the (currently tiny) F-M zine community, please do!  Donations of kid-friendly zines are especially appreciated!

The goal is for FMZF to be a diverse event, meaning: people of many different races, ethnicities, cultures, religions, genders, sexuality, and classes have knowledge of the event, feel comfortable attending FMZF, and have an opportunity to make a zine prior to and/or during the event so that each person feels zines are accessible to them.  To this end, FMZF Auxiliary Programs has been hosting many community building events leading up to FMZF.

Send your stuff with your contact info to:

Free Zine Day, PO Box 374, Moorhead MN 56561

Note: Do NOT send or bring it to Quimby’s.

More info:
fargomoorheadzinefest.tumblr.com
https://www.facebook.com/FargoMoorheadZineFest
contact: fargomoorheadzinefest(at)gmail(dot)com

All donors will be listed as supporters at the zine fest, and listed in the fest’s upcoming blog posts.  FMZF thanks you.
