Tomorrow evening in the Wexner Film and Video Theater, we are thrilled to be having a unique event with Portland-based cartoonist and illustrator Aidan Koch (Secret Prison, The Whale) in conversation with Skylab curator James Payne, and visiting curator Caitlin McGurk of the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum. Aidan will be discussing her work and the interrelation and incongruence of working in the worlds of comics and fine art.

Aidan’s style and approach to illustrative comics is progressive and fascinating, and she is the first (and youngest!) self-publisher to join us on stage at The Wexner Center in a casual exploration of comics communities, story telling processes, and more. To see some of her work, check out her continuing series The Blonde Woman hosted on Study Group Comics.

Koch is in residence at Skylab Gallery during the month of June, and this event marks the first collaboration between the downtown art space and OSU.
