My mother Martha Rosler wrote, and I drew, a two-page comic (entitled “Scenes From an Illicit War: From Planet Invisible”), which has just been published in Silvana Editoriale’s System Error: War is a Force That Gives Us Meaning. The book is a companion piece to an art exhibit of the same name (co-curated by Papesse head curator Lorenzo Fusi and New York- & Dhaka- based artist Naeem Mohaiemen) taking place at the Palazzo Papesse Centre for Contemporary Art in Siena, Italy (though May 6). I also have a couple of other war-related pieces (which can be read online here and here) in the System Error book.
Meanwhile, Nick Flynn & yours truly’s latest poem-comic, “Bag of Mice,” is printed in the March–April 2007 issue of World Literature Today, a special issue dedicated to “graphic literature” (and also featuring such notable names as Jessica Abel, Lynda Barry, Anders Nilsen, and Joe Sacco).
In addition, A.D. protagonist/AntiGravity magazine publisher Leo McGovern interviews me about A.D. in the new issue of AntiGravity, which coincides nicely with the brand-new A.D. Chapter 1: “Riders of The Storm,” now live on SMITH (And mentioned in an earlier post. Whew; busy day.).
awesome collaboration
That’s a great comic, Josh, and one of the best titles I’ve ever seen.
I am trying to collaborate with my mother on something/anything. She’s not an artist, and it’s difficult. But I’m going to keep working on her until we slowly get some kind of collaboration going…
Re: awesome collaboration
Everybody should do a collaboration with their mother! Seriously, thanks for the compliment. I was incredibly intimidated about working with my mom, as her intellect and sphere of reference far outstrips mine, but in the end, I feel it was rather fruitful. Sorry, bad pun.
Also: Sad that I didn’t get to see you when you were in town. But I was underwater (another bad pun) getting the first chapter of A.D. done.
Re: awesome collaboration
I’m psyched about A.D. It was a topic of conversation at one point in the Hart/Corman residence.
I hope to be back in NY later in the year, for sunnier weather, and will maybe be able to catch you then! Keep on truckin’!
Beautiful and painful!
Just like you! (hee-hee)
