2 Reactions to the Comic Craze Show
:: Posted by Bryan @ 5/31/2007 12:01:00 AM While Sequential's hesitations about the Comics Craze show currently running in Montreal have been duly noted (artists whose books are on display were not contacted or credited), it's interesting to read these two reviews of the show, both from the Quebec weekly The Suburban.
The first discusses how teenage readers are responding to the comics in the show and the second laments the use of the space, The Liane and Danny Taran Gallery of the Saidye Bronfman Centre, for the show since it is the last show ever for the gallery before it closes for good. Alternatives suggested are something along the lines of the Masters of American Comics in New York or maybe something about the Holocaust:
In an unfitting ending to a gallery that has been in existence for more than 40 years, the Liane and Danny Taran Gallery of the Saidye Bronfman Centre for the Arts closes with a whimper rather than a bang with its final exhibition Comic Craze, which ends June 3.
Creating an interior maze of basically black and white tubes and inserting them with a mishmash of non-indexed Canadian French and English-language comic books does not make for an art exhibition. This stuff belongs in a library, not an art gallery.
