In his Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece, MAUS—a moving father-son memoir about the Ho- locaust drawn with cats and mice—Art Spiegelman changed the definition of comics forever. In WORDLESS!—a new and stimulating hybrid of slides, talk, and musical performance—he probes further into the nature and possibilities of his medium.

Spiegelman, noted as a historian and theorist of comics as well as an artist, collaborates with Phillip Johnston, the critically acclaimed jazz composer who wrote all-new scores he will perform live with WITH WORDLESS WORKS BY

Johnston’s music accompanies the cartoonist’s personal tour of the first legitimate “graphic novels”—silent picture stories made by early 20th-century masters like Frans Masereel, Lynd Ward, and Milt Gross—and their influence on him. As Spiegelman explores “the battle between Words and Pictures,” he smashes at the hyphen between High and Low Art in a presentation featuring a new work drawn specifically for this project, “Shaping Thought.” WORDLESS!

ART SPIEGELMAN Art Spiegelman has almost single-handedly brought comic books out of the toy closet and onto the literature shelves. In 1992, he won the Pulitzer Prize for his masterful Holocaust narrative Maus— which portrayed Jews as mice and Nazis as cats. Maus II continued the remarkable story of his parents’ survival of the Nazi regime and their lives later in America. His comics are best known for their shifting graphic styles, their formal complex- ity, and controversial content. In his lecture, “What the %@&*! Happened to Comics?,” Spiegelman takes his audience on a chronological tour of the evolution of comics, all the while explaining the value of this medium and why it should not be ignored. He believes that in our post-literate culture the importance of the comic is on the rise, for “comics echo the way the brain works. People think in iconographic images, not in holograms, and people think in bursts of language, not in Art Spiegelman. Photo: Enno Kapitza, Agentur Focus paragraphs.”

Having rejected his parents’ aspirations for him to become a dentist, Art Spiegelman studied cartooning in high school and began drawing professionally at age 16. He went on to study art and philosophy at Harpur College before becom- ing part of the underground comix subculture of the 60s and 70s. As creative consultant for Topps Bubble Gum Co. from 1965—87, Spiegelman created Wacky Packages, Garbage Pail Kids, and other novelty items, and taught history and aesthetics of comics at the School for Visual Arts in New York from 1979—86. In 2007 he was a Heyman Fellow of the Humanities at Columbia University where he taught a Masters of the Com- ics seminar. In 1980, Spiegelman founded RAW, the acclaimed avant-garde comics magazine, with his wife, Françoise Mouly—Maus was originally serialized in the pages of RAW before being published by Pantheon, which has published many Who’s Who of his subsequent works including an illustrated collection of three of his sketchbooks entitled Be version of the 1928 lost classic, The Wild Party, a Nose.

Cover Artist

Bill Beckley Bill Beckley is a New York-based conceptual artist who garnered recognition in the 1970s for work that combines photographic images and text to form re- petitive, often highly sexualized compositions. Pioneering the use of saturated color photography and overt references to popular advertising tropes, Beckley and contemporaries like William Wegman, John Baldessari, and Gerhard Richter are sometimes referred to as part of the Narrative Art movement, a loosely associated group of artists who influenced the Pictures Generation. In the 1990s Beckley’s conceptual explorations led him to edit a series of academic essays called Aesthetics Today for the School of Visual Arts, where he has taught semiotics since 1970. His most recent solo show, Bill Beckley: Facts (Fuck) I Love You, was on view in Manhattan at Friedman Benda Gal- lery this past fall.

A: Again and again I return to the same questions in my plays. I think it’s a myth to suggest that a playwright or any artist invents a new world when they sit down to work afresh. I think we return to those same obsessions that define us. I had an extraordinary experience because I was rehearsing A Doll’s House and The Curi- ous Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time at the same time and I found both plays were considerations of the same thing. How strange is it that in both—two texts I didn’t conceive or initiate—there should be the same word for word line of dialogue which is, “I couldn’t stay a night in a stranger’s house.” There must be a reason I was drawn to both of those plays because thematically they both resonated with what I am trying to do as an artist—to ask the questions, What is it to be at home? What is to leave home? What is it to return home having left? What is it to commit to a family? These themes sit through all my plays and absolutely sit through the heart of A Doll’s House.

Q: I read an interview where you said, “what we do when we tell stories is we try to make sense of things we don’t understand” and that you try and explore things that frighten you as a means of having some ownership of them and that you have an instinctive compulsion to shine a light in dark corners. What specifically frightened you about A Doll’s House? Which dark corners did you shine a light on and what did you discover?
