Ed Koren at Columbia University: The Capricious Line
The artist’s name may ring a bell: Koren has contributed close to a thousand cartoons to the New Yorker since 1962, featuring a lovably shaggy cast of characters, which one wag described as “Muppets on Rogaine.” This five-decade survey features original drawings for Koren’s cartoons and illustrated books, and also débuts a quartet of panoramic drawings, inspired by the dioramas at the American Museum of Natural History. A public reception, from 5 to 7, celebrates the show’s opening. (A related exhibition is installed at the Luise Ross gallery, in Chelsea, where a reception will be held on May 1, from 3 to 5.) Opens April 27.
Date: April 27 – June 12

Follow-up: Foolish Corpse Event
Check out these dreamy photos from the recent “Foolish Corpse” event on April 1, 2010. All these images were photographed by Parsons MFA student Conway Liao–be sure to check out his website here for more wonderful imagery.
Foolish Corpse was a collaboration between the Parsons Foundation and Illustration programs. It was a live drawing event with rotating teams and three video projectors that create one scroll-like image in the Aronson gallery. Participants worked on three Wacom Cintiq screen tablets and responded to each other as the images unfolded. This unpredictable event, loosely based on the Surrealist parlor game the Exquisite Corpse, was further unhinged by musical and word cues lobbed at the artists like bad April Fools jokes. An additional group of artists draw simultaneously on Wacom Cintiq Intuos tablets uploading their work to a drop box as raw material for the project.
Foolish Corpse was part of the Palimpsest exhibition.
Recent Student Work: Katie Turner and Delaney Gibbons

Congrats, Katie!

Parsons Illustration Sophomore Delaney Gibbons, a student in Lauren Redniss’s Illustrative Print Class, created the animation above. It’s called “Night People.” Fascinating, creative stuff!
Keep up the good work, Delaney!
