"How to draw male-to-male romance" workshops held by a yaoi prosumers community in Vauxhall. Temporary tattoos celebrating Spartacus guide global mission. The legacy of Italian fumetti erotici and their hidden heroes in Latin America. Comics as a revolutionary tool. News stands as the pre-Internet. Sexually transmitted diseases and anti-graffiti policies in Philadelphia. Egyptian comics, détournements and dérive inspired distribution in Downtown Cairo. The spectrum of homoeroticism in Tokyo's manga subcultures. Porn parodies.
FRANCESC RUIZ will display at The Barber Shop a temporary library comprising examples of his work as an investigator of comics as an expanded medium, a practice that he has developed through context related installations, specialized bookshops or other distribution systems, exploring LGTB culture, censorship and alternative genealogies to the social history of comic books.
FRIDAY at 7PM, FRANCESC RUIZ will do a guided tour through his publications and introduce us to other works as well as some of his latest obsessions - Come to the Barber Shop At Your Own Risk!
FRANCESC RUIZ (Barcelona, 1971) has exhibited at Weserburg Museum (Bremen), Gasworks (London), Contemporary Image Collective (Cairo), Creative Time (new York), Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia (Madrid), MOCA (Los Angeles), Centre d'Art La Panera (Lleida), among other institutions.
This session is included in the cycle LET'S GET CRITICAL: THOUGHT CIRCULATION & ITS MODES OF PRODUCTION, a programme of events about the production and distribution of critical thought, which intends to incite debate about research methodologies, ephemeral practices and writing as modus operandi taking place at The Barber Shop from October 2013 onwards.
