“I hate to be telling you this now, but if you weren’t in London recently there is a very good chance that you missed the best comic of the year. The Rut, a short comic by Dave McKean, has just wrapped up it’s run at the Pumphouse Gallery in Battersea Park. This was the type of phenomenal breakthrough work that will be talked about by those who saw it for years to come.”
Bart Beaty reviews the Hypercomics Exhibition
Above is a short video showcasing the free Hypercomics iPad app, created by the team at Redrawn to accompany the Hypercomics exhibition at the Pump House Gallery in Battersea Park, London earlier in 2010.
The Hypercomics exhibition explored the shapes of comics to come. Adam Dant, Daniel Merlin Goodbrey, Dave McKean, Warren Pleece liberated their work from the confines of the printed page and explode them into the gallery space. Sourcing installation images and artworks from the exhibition, the Hypercomics app acts as a digital scrapbook and introduction to the show. Unlike conventional comics, the Hypercomics app gives you the opportunity to choose your route through the branching storylines created by the artists.
