SF – Rebel in Ink Exhibit

Spain Rodriguez: Rebel in Ink

Cartoon Art Museum exhibition: September 12, 2009 – February 7, 2010

Opening reception:  Thursday, September 17, 2009, 7:00-9:00pm, free and open to the public

*Calendar:  Please note that the Cartoon Art Museum exhibition “Brinkley Girls” has been extended through September 6, 2009*

 

The Cartoon Art Museum proudly presents Spain Rodriguez:  Rebel in Ink, a retrospective exhibition celebrating the art of seminal underground comix creator and San Francisco legendSpain Rodriguez.

Rebel in Ink looks back on Rodriguez’s 40-plus years as a comic book artist, providing the most comprehensive gallery exhibition of his work to date.  In the late 1960s, Rodriguez was one of the pioneers of the underground comix movement, through work on such groundbreaking publications as The East Village Other, Zap Comix, and the first underground tabloid, Zodiac Mindwarp, which was created by Rodriguez.  Trashman, one of Rodriguez’s best known creations, was an icon in underground newspapers of the 1960s and 1970s.  Rodriguez was an early pioneer of online comics as well, and he collaborated with the late comics historian and writer Bob Callahan in the 1990s on The Dark Hotel, which was featured on the popular website Salon.com.  Rodriguez has also been active as an educator at various Bay Area colleges and schools.  Among his more recent works are numerous illustrations for the mainstream press, several anthology comics collections, and the critically acclaimed Che:  A Graphic Biography, a 2008 graphic novel depicting the life and times of Che Guevara.

The opening reception for this exhibition will take place on Thursday, September 17, 2009from 7:00-9:00pm.  Spain Rodriguez will look back at his long and storied career in a discussion moderated by Cartoon Art Museum founder Malcolm Whyte.  This event is free and open to the public.
