Book List: Graphic albums and picture books

In advance of next week’s South Kensington Kids Festival which celebrates picture books and graphic novels for children, Alex Fitch talks to four creators whose work contains elements of each medium.

Andi Ewington discusses his novella “45” which divides the text and illustrations of superhero comics onto separate pages and the spin-off comic Blue Spear, co-written by Com.x publisher Eddie Deighton; while, in an interview recorded at the London Film and Comic Con, novelist Robert Rankin talks about his first graphic novel Empires which moves his celebrated monochrome cover illustrations onto every page of a new steam-punk sequel to The War of the Worlds.

Also, children’s illustrators Oliver Jeffers and Axel Scheffler talk about their recent picture books This Moose belongs to me and Superworm. Jeffers looks back at his parallel career as a fine artist, on display in the collection Neither here nor there, and Scheffler discusses partnership with writer Julia Donaldson on memorable books such as The Gruffalo and The Highway Rat.

Hello GoodBye – 10.11.12 – Nótt, Trevor Moss & Hannah-Lou

Brighton based duo Nótt perform their debut live session on Hello GoodBye, whilst husband and wife duo Trevor Moss & Hannah-Lou return for a highly anticipated, umpteenth appearance on the show!

The idea of Nótt was sparked following a new year’s eve spent on Brighton beach watching candlelit lanterns being sent out over the waters. The imagery and feel of the experience became the inspiration for a collaboration between two musicians, Stephan Barrett and Josephine Lloyd. Over a few days in a suburban basement during a cold week in early January 2012, Nótt created a collection of recordings and called the set “Winter’s Frame”, which is free to download from: HERE

In April 2012 Trevor & Hannah loaded up their long suffering British Leyland campervan with guitars, a few microphones and a 4-track cassette recorder, and headed for the tiny village of Saint-Pierre-Des-Landes in Northern France where they spent the next ten days committing to cassette, their newest collection of words and melodies. The resulting collection of songs may now be heard on their new LP ‘La Ferme De Fontenaille’ (The Anglophone Recording Company)

Hamilton Yarns – In Stereo
Nótt – Tear Of Snow (LIVE SESSION)

Art Monthly Talk Show on Resonance104.4 FM, 9th November 2012

John Douglas Millar discusses his feature article on Conceptual Writing and asks “Is writing still playing catch-up with art?” 

The term ‘Conceptual Writing’ was coined in 2003 to define literary works that may function as Conceptual Art, where the ideas behind the rule-based texts cannot be separated from the act of writing itself. But does this reliance on the act of authoring undermine the movement’s distanciating intentions?

‘Conceptual Writing might not seem particularly radical. After all, the Oulipo group have been experimenting with constraint-based writing for over 50 years and citation and appropriation are a fundamental of much modernist literature.’

Colin Perry discusses his review of Matthew Darbyshire at Zabludowicz Collection, London, The Associates at Kettle’s Yard, Cambridge, Theaster Gates at White Cube Bermondsey, London. He suggests that over these past few recessionary years, the context available for art in the UK has changed in line with public spending cuts. Creativity has increasingly sought a home in two types of well-funded organisations: private collectors’ kunsthalles, in which public and private functions mix freely; and the domestic houses and mansions managed by the heritage sector, in which art is programmed to respond to a permanent collection. But many artists show a deep ambivalence about such contexts.

The programme is hosted by Matt Hale who has worked at Art Monthly since 1991.

Reality Check: Manhwa and metamorphosis

Reality Check: Manhwa and metamorphosis

Two events taking place this weekend are ideal places for fans of fantasy and science fiction to visit – SCI-FI-LONDON: EAST and Manhwa: Korean Story and Painting – each in venues not known for exploring those genres. Alex Fitch talks to director Chris Swanton about his adaptation of Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis, screening Sunday 11th November at Stratford Picturehouse and to comic book creator Min-Woo Hyung regarding the art he’s exhibiting at the Korean Creative Content Agency, 1-3 The Strand. Alex and Chris discuss why the director chose a hard to translate novel by Kafka as his directorial debut, following a career as an editor on such projects as the BBC’s Ghostwatch, and Min-Woo talks about his career as a Manhwa creator from his debut Chronicle of a Hot-blooded Judo King to his latest project Ghostface and his most famous series Priest, which was adapted as a Sci-Fi blockbuster in 2011.
