WWII ink drawings., 1920s cross country travelogue Works illustrate transformations in Russian propaganda policies, the output of a famous Mexican print workshop and transformations in Hungarian communist aesthetic practice).

Amanda Chung with her skatedeck
In celebration of a new gallery showing in room 806 in 2 West 13th Street, the Illustration department’s peer mentors Kristin Gormley, Robin Yao, and Emily Borges put up a fabulous skate deck show. Select students were asked to revamp a blank skate deck in the correlation to the theme of the show:
“Students are asked to reflect on the notion of travel through poetry and typographic design. Each student was given a deck and asked to choose a poem to depict.”
Jordan Nevins
Elijah Maura
Angela Chen
Kristin Gormley
The goal for after the show is to pair up with DT students and have the decks sent out into the world to fully realize the idea of travel. Where the decks will be found by a passerby and be asked to use the deck in what ever manner as they take photos and hashtag “parsonseightrium”. In this way the students hope to track the decks with a GPS tracker as it goes around the world, following it’s journey.
Sam Shumway with his skatedeck
Stop by during the week to see the show in all it’s glory and lets give a big shout out to the artists that participated in this exhibition:
Amanda Chung, Kristin Gormley, Ingrid Yiu, Angela Chen, Elena Lloyd, Elijah Maura, Sam Shumway, and Jordan Nevins.
Collaborators, translators and friends of the legendary cartoonist Hugo Pratt discuss his work and place in comics history.
Panelists:
Fiore Sireci teaches Anglo-American social history as well as writing in the visual arts at Parsons and the New School, and British literature at Hunter College. He is also a translator, editor, and writer. He has a long time love of comic books and graphic novels and is currently working on translations of the works of Hugo Pratt.
Born in Argentina, Patrizia Zanotti started working with Hugo Pratt at the age of 17, in 1979. She began as a colorist for Pratt’s comics, and then went on to manage dealings with various publishers. She also was involved in the graphic design and editing of Pratt’s books and eventually came to oversee his international exhibitions, including shows in Buenos Aires, Paris, Venice, Milan, Rome, Siena and Lugano. She travelled with Pratt on many business trips throughout Europe, North America and the Pacific as well as other locations over the course of 17 years. In 1994, she partnered with Pratt to create the Italian publishing company Lizard Edizioni, which published graphic novels of Italian and foreign authors, among which were: Milo Manara, Marjane Satrapi, Hergé, Juan Canales and Guarnido and thanks to her knowledge of the Pratt works, Patrizia has managed and has led CONG, Hugo Pratt Art Properties, since 1995.
Born in Rome in 1956 Marco Steiner lives in Rome and New York. He’s a doctor who loves held a passion for reading and writing adventures stories. He has always been an avid traveller and photographer. His mentor and friend, Hugo Pratt, suggested the central European pen name. One year after Pratt’s death, Steiner completed Pratt’s novel Corte Sconta Detta Arcana, published by Einaudi in 1996.
Accompanied by the Swiss photographer Marco D’Anna, he has been travelling in Europe, Asia, the Caribbean and South America covering all the geographic locations frequented by Corto Maltese in his adventures. The texts and images from those trips became the introductions to the 14 Corto Maltese books. In Steiner’s second novel Il Corvo di Pietra, a young Corto Maltese appears in this new adventure set in 1902. The book is published by Sellerio in Italy and by Denoël in France.

Camilo José Vergara
on
Text & Image Found in the Street.
Acclaimed photographer/sociologist Camilo José Vergara will present a slideshow and discussion of urban street drawings, murals and signage collected over his decades of research in New York City, Detroit and Los Angeles.
Camilo José Vergara is a Chilean-born, New York-based writer, photographer and documentarian. Beginning in the 1980s, Vergara applied the technique of rephotography to a series of American cities, photographing the same buildings and neighborhoods from the exact vantage point at regular intervals over many years to capture changes over time. Trained as a sociologist with a specialty in urbanism, Vergara turned to his systematic documentation at a moment of urban decay, and he chose locales where that stress seemed highest: the housing projects of Chicago; the South Bronx of New York City; Camden, New Jersey; and Detroit, Michigan, among others. His books include: Harlem: The Unmaking of a Ghetto, American Ruins and The New American Ghetto.

The Chinese comics scene is still not very well-known around the world. This lecture will try to describe the landscape of the comics publishing industry in China, from its roots in lianhuanhua (palm-sized serial picture-books) by such artists as He Youzhi to a new generation of cartoonists such as Zou Jian, Nie Jun and Golo Zhao who are influenced by manga, as well as European and North American comics. What will their future be outside of China?
A seeming commercial Eldorado, I will examine the potential and limits of the market within Mainland China for foreign publishers and cartoonists. The lecture will also focus on Chinese universities with art departments, the deep link between comics and the animation industry, state censorship, the rules of the Chinese market and also the amazing energy of the new comics scene in China.
