Ed Piskor: Brain Rot

Ed Piskor: Brain Rot presents original pen and ink drawings by Piskor which were used for comics publications. The exhibition includes more than thirty original pages from Hip Hop Family Tree, Piskor’s current project tracking the evolution of Hip Hop from its beginnings in the 1970s as a niche local subculture into the global phenomenon it quickly became. The first collected edition of Hip Hop Family Tree will be published by Fantagraphics this October. Ed Piskor began his comics career at age 21, drawing American Splendor strips written by underground comics legend Harvey Pekar. He has also published the graphic novel Wizzywig about the history of hacking and is currently publishing The Hip Hop Family Tree as a weekly comic at BoingBoing.net.
Ground Control: SAND
October 2, 2012
Ground Control is an exhibition of video and sound work by contemporary artists that is shown inside CMA’s south-side elevator. SAND is from Anita Clearfield’s and Geoffrey Leighton’s video series “Falling in Place” that explores time and aging. In it, the artists use natural phenomena such as water, sand, leaves, and rocks to understand the erosion of bodies.
