My chum Matt Broersma has a degree show at the Birmingham Institute of Art and Design, Gosta Green on the 20th – 21st September, 10am to 5pm. Details, map (pdf).
There’s a private view with drinks at some point. I’m not sure how invite-only it is so I’ll let Matt confirm the time in the comments.
He’s also got a great story, The Mummy, in the new Drawn and Quarterly Showcase along with Genevieve Elverum and Sammy Harkham.
The strip is in English and published in his native continent of America, which is a first for him.
I noticed in his flowery biography that “he now lives near the River Rea in England” which is true, except the Rea is barely a river, more a stream running through the second largest city in the country. Birmingham not good enough for ya?
he is moderately talented isn’t he
My first attempt at posting a comment here didn’t work – but just wanted to confirm that the private view is in fact open to the public. It is 19 Sept (a monday), 5:30-8 p.m. Refreshments provided.
Also, re: the River Rea reference – that was supposed to be sarcastic. The River Rea sounds leafy and genteel to people who have never heard of it, but turns out to be an urban crevice. Har har har!!
BTW, the problem I had with my earlier post seems to have been because I used the ‘preview’ feature. If I hit ‘post’ without previewing it seems fine.
