We are pleased to announce a lecture by Jerelle Kraus, former Art Director of the NY Times Op-Ed page on Oct 16th in BR320.
She will be discussing the impact of Eastern European art on the look of the Op-Ed page and how that influenced editorial illustration in the last half of the 20th century. Her 13 yrs experience at the Times makes her an expert in this area of illustration history.
The course this semester is formatted as a research class where students are working in small groups researching distinct focal areas
in the practice’s history and linking them to narrative works through time using the context of social, political, technological and aesthetic influences.
The lecture is open to the public and is followed by a small reception and book-signing of Kraus’s recent book “All the Art that’s Fit to Print” from Columbia Press.
This lecture is being sponsored by the Office of Research and the Mixed Media Lecture Series as a co-departmental initiative.

During June, the students of Alain Corbel’s Spring 2009 Sequential Art class exhibited work at a comics convention in Saint-Brieuc, Brittany, France. The comics convention, called “Bulles a Croquer” (Word Balloons to Crunch), was unique in that it offered both comics and gourmet food. http://www.bullesacroquer.net/index.php
Because of this gastronomic theme, the MICA students created comics about the infamous gourmet Gargantua, a character from the book “Gargantua and Pantagruel” written by French author Francois Rabelais in 1534. These comics were displayed in large format and collected in an anthology which was sold during the convention. This exhibition follows a show in Beja, Portugal in which Alain displayed work from his Fall 07 Sequential Art class.
Recent MICA graduate Max Hallinan IL‘09 accompanied Alain Corbel to “Bulles a Croquer”, where he was introduced to well-known French comic creators such as Jean-Claude Fournier, Emmanuel Lepage and had the opportunity to make contacts with French publishers.
Students involved: Robin Rodowsky, Timothy Yingling, Laura Allen, John Bylander, Christie Sheridan, Ian Kahler, Thomas Kieley, Kirsi Twomanen, Emma Maatman, Alexis Morgan, Quentin Gibeau, Mellis Tuck, Alon Braier, Rebecca Mock, and Craig Bowers.
