Comics Weekend: A Symposium on an Art Form
Funded by the Maryland Humanities Council
Friday, February 6 – Sunday, February 8, 2004

visit Comics Weekend

Every 20 years or so, underground comics go through a cultural revolution. Today, the underground has gone “overground” with the proliferation of new creators working in a wide array of media and appearing everywhere from The New Yorker and The Wall Street Journal to limited-edition, self-published comics and handsome, oversized books. With high-profile films and graphic novels, comics are in the public eye like never before.

MICA examines this phenomenon by bringing together many of the most important artists reconceiving the nature of “comics” with a groundbreaking exhibition exploring contemporary comics culture.

This exhibition originated as Raw, Boiled and Cooked at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco. It will travel to Sonoma Museum of Visual Art (May 15 – July 3, 2004) and the Chicago Cultural Center (August 7 – October 3, 2004).
