...planes were flying over the U.S., dropping packages with Arabic writing and the Afghan flag, what would Americans' reaction be? Would they know it was food? With the wartime paranoia, I suspect most would think it was some form of biological warfare. To be recognizable, a food drop must consist of McDonald's hamburgers, Kentucky Fried Chicken, and Coca-Cola or Pepsi. Recognition of those logos is universal, and the Afghan people would immediately know what they were getting. DONALD M. CURRIE North Vancouver...
...perks of Kutappi’s job aren’t many: They consist, for the most part, of tinkering with an erratic radio, trimming the grass and shooing away both cows and disobedient Christian girls who intrude upon the holy property for which he is responsible. His irascible and illiterate overseer, Ahmed Koya (Krishnan Unnikrishnan ’02) does little to brighten his days. Their interactions, though, serve as a welcome source of comic relief. And while the characters’ quips and other references in Grave Affairs can be a bit esoteric, the program?...
...theoretical underpinnings of the Reclamation Artists’ work is somewhat esoteric and hard to grasp, but in essence much of their work—including “Nest!”—seems to consist of attempts to make something out of nothing. Or, more precisely, to convert a formerly vacuous physical topos into an organic component of a superimposed piece of art. In particular, Reclamation Artists are concerned with neglected urban landscapes, and have often endeavored to add an aesthetically pleasing touch to otherwise barren and unappealing scenery...
...original comix-style opera, "The Carbon Copy Building." But more relevant to "Comics Decode" are his slide shows. Never a straight reading, he frames his presentations in a loose lecture format with titles like, "Halftone Printing in the Yiddish Press and Other Objects of Idol Worship." But the lectures consist of the kind of vaguely-plausible-but-absurd nonsense that make up the majority of Katchor's work. He essentially becomes a character in a one-man-show that features the reading of comix...
...photographs of the late Siskind generally consist of close-ups of elements of graffiti, torn posters and walls. Stripped of their original worldly context and printed larger than life, the black-and-white prints emanate the same power as an abstract expressionist painting. In “New York 6” (1950), the shadows, textures and patterns of what may have been a crumpled paper bag or a torn-up poster suggest a complex and intertwined three-dimensional space, composed of intense and richly black shadows but equally of midtones, highlights and small, textured corners. At once abstract...
