Berliac and the Group PARIAS—Contemporary South American comics

A few South American artists from the group PARIAS, who are almost unknown to the Czech general public, will be presented during the KomiskFEST!. Berliac (Argentina) influenced by Japanese culture, Cegado (Venezuela) obsessed with neurosis, Martin Lopez Lam (Peru) using expressive bright colours and the experimental author Nacha Vollenweider (Argentina); these artists prove that alternative comics flourishes all over the world.

The exhibition opening will take place on Wednesday 21st October at 5.30pm.
Art Point, Gorazdova 9
The exhibition will be open till 30 November 2015

Dan Perjovschi, Matěj Smetana—15 000 Years of Sameless

The exhibition “15 000 Years of Sameless” presents the production of two artists of different generations. The Romanian artist Dan Perjovschi is known for his spectacular site-specific interventions into gallery spaces and his spontaneous comics drawings reflecting on everyday political events. The young Czech artist Matěj Smetana represents the younger generation. He often works with coincidence which is generated by mathematical algorithms. Both authors are connected by subtle irony which breaks the stereotyped reception of mechanisms of everyday reality.

The exhibition opening will take place on Wednesday 21st October at 7pm.
MeetFactory, Ke Sklárně 15
The exhibition will be open till 29th November 2015
