Nick Sousanis from Teacher's College, Columbia University will present his work in comic books on the “Creative & Critical Minds” theme at noon in the Oakland Room of the OC (student center) on Wednesday, October 10, 2012.
Nick is a Detroiter now living in New York, co-founder of arts and culture web-mag www.thedetroiter.com, founding director for the University of Michigan Work-Detroit gallery (on Woodward Ave), and biographer of legendary Detroit artist Charles McGee.
Nick is currently writing and drawing his dissertation at Teachers College entirely in comic book form -- the first of its kind. Anyone interested in the interaction of verbal and visual modes of communication -- or something akin to Scott McCloud's work in the now contemporary classic Understanding Comics -- will find this presentation of interest. Please see Nick's comics at http://www.spinweaveandcut.blogspot.com/.
Sponsored by the CAS Theme committee and the Department of Writing and Rhetoric at Oakland University.
