ART TALK and COMIC SURGERY workshop with E.T. Russian
DECEMBER 5, 2015 • 2-3:30PM • Saturday • The Henry Art Gallery (@ University of WA) 15th Ave NE & NE 41st St
E.T. Russian, Seattle-based artist, author, filmmaker, performer, educator, and healthcare provider, leads a gallery and studio-based workshop inspired by the themes and intimate processes of Body Parts. 'BODY PARTS' is a new exhibit at the Henry Art Museum featuring collage-based paintings, sculptures and pieces by Wangechi Mutu, Thomas Hirschhorn, Annette Messager, Eva Kotatkova, and Daniel Gordon among others.
Russian introduces "comic surgery" techniques that use drawing and writing to explore themes of identity, fragmentation, evolution, future, and resilience. Leave with an eight-page comic created by you! This workshop is recommended for ages 13 and up.
