Desert Island

Blown away by Mark Stillwell’s installation last night of approximately 10% of his 2791-page graphic novel the Dark Backwards, an epic tale of the search for immortality written by a dying man. I’ve known Mark a long time but never saw this work, which has been in progress over eleven years. Really incredible stuff that should be permanently installed in a museum. For now, I’m glad we were able to see a one-day installation at John Mejias’s studio, which took two weeks to install. Hope some version of this can see publication. He is still working on it and is in process on the final 270 page chapter. I think he is planning on serializing at . Thanks for helping get this work seen.

PLOMB is a group exhibition on paper, an anthology-as-art-experience from the dedicated minds and hands of Lagon R***e in France. The collective is elastic and ever-changing, but this time it contains Son Ni, Claire Braud, Agustina Casals, Séverine Bascouert, Erlend Peder Kvam, Gaspard Laurent, Alice Cayol, Elie Partouche, Jean Phillipe Bretin, Julie Redon, Henri Crabières, Jim Fontana, Pierre Guilhem, Vanessa Dziuba, Issam Smiri, Sammy Stein, Louis Butzbach, Chihoi, Jonny Negron, Kevin McCaughey. WHEW! This is a must-grip in our world. Got a couple in stock on Metropolitan Ave!
