Three Ace Exhibitions Open In London This Week!
Posted: September 22, 2014
You wait ages and three come along all at once! Three great gallery spaces are opening some ace exhibitions in London this week, all well worth your while visiting. Tuesday September 23rd brings the opening of Gekiga: Alternative Manga From Japan at The Cartoon Museum, 35 Little Russell Street, London, WC1A 2HH. This is the first time that original drawings of gekiga - the underground movement that revolutionised manga - have been exhibited in Europe, including over 50 pieces of original artwork and reproductions from rare manga. This exhibition lasts till November 29th.
Then on Wednesday September 24th, Graphic Details: Confessional Comics by Jewish Women opens at last in Britain at Space Station 65, 373 Kennington Road, London SE11 4PS. Co-curated by Michael Kaminer and Sarah Lightman, Graphic Details is a groundbreaking touring exhibition providing the first in-depth look at a unique and prolific niche of graphic storytelling – Jewish women’s autobiographical comics, continuing till December 13th.
And thirdly, also opening September 24th is the selling show Miniature Ink featuring miniature original artworks from over 100 of the most talented tattoo artists from across the globe, with profits going to cancer charity Sarcoma UK. Small but perfectly formed, each work is the same affordable price, providing an opportunity for all art lovers to own an original by some of the industry’s most sought-after names. This show runs till October 15th (and will be followed by a Comica Festival collaboration, the first London exhibition of manga mistress, Junko Mizuno!). Be sure not to miss these three highly recommended, stimulating cultural experiences!
