The 9th Art: Frames and Thought Bubbles

Curated by , director of the School of Art and Design, the provides an encyclopedic overview of comic art, sharing examples of a wide variety of visual and narrative storytelling styles from panels in early newspapers to contemporary comic images.

Comics on exhibition include 奥颈苍蝉辞谤&苍产蝉辫;惭肠颁补测鈥檚 Little Nemo in Slumberland from 1908, and Will Eisner鈥檚 The Spirit from 1949; both pieces are on loan from The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. Louise Simonson and Power Pack from 1984 is also on exhibition.

The term 鈥�9th Art鈥� acknowledges the reverence for which Franco-Belgian audiences regard comics in their culture. In France and Belgium, the term bande dessin茅e, which derives from the original description of the art form as drawn strips鈥攁nalogous to the sequence of images in a film strip鈥攈as been given the honor of being referred to as the 9th art since the 1960s.

The ZMA has planned additional programming and workshops in association with the exhibition; all are free and open to the public.

New Visions 2021

The newly revitalized series will continue to offer students an annual juried exhibition opportunity as originated by the Visions Registered Student Organization, the first arts organization at 食色视频, when the College of the Arts was founded.
