DESCRIPTION
DRAWN IN – The Comic Jam / Curated by Alexandra Lazar
Saturday, 7th November – Sunday, 8th November
Open participation: Sunday, 8th November from 4 to 7 p.m.
Artillerie is proud to announce its Comic Jam with international comic artists Beldan Sezen (Amsterdam), Helena Janecic (Croatia) and IF (Berlin).
For the duration of two days, the artists, who have never previously met, will work in condensed and improvised collaboration to create a comic style story in one long jamming session. The drawings created on Saturday will be hung on the walls right away, thus the exhibition process will become an incidental story-performance in itself.
The jam will further continue on Sunday, when artists will be joined by musicians Air Cushion Finish who will create a live sound collage around the ambiental noise of Artillerie before condensing it into a full-blown gig later that evening.
The Jam will be open to public on Sunday 8 November, so you can come along and join in. You’re welcome to bring your own brushes and pens for a day of fun, lines, blobs, sketches and great music. The session is free but bring some spare change as there’ll be plenty of amazing nibbles, drinks and affordable homemade art for sale!
The artworks will stay on exhibition until 1st December.
Starting 17th November, opening times are Tuesdays and Fridays, 2 p.m. until 5 p.m. Other viewings by appointment.
