ABOUT HOT POTATOE:
Marc Bell’s Hot Potatoe seamlessly combines decade-plus long comics activities with a lifelong devotion to, as Bell calls it, "Fine Ahtwerks." Part art monograph, part comics collection, Hot Potatoe is filled with mixed media cardboard constructions, watercoloured drawings, altered found texts and Bel...l’s most intense, dizzying comics from the contemporary avant-garde comics anthologies Kramers Ergot and The Ganzfeld. Bell’s works have their roots in draftsmanship, typography and old-fashioned gags, but morph into assemblages that connect his images into real space. His comics are funny, seat-of-the pants narratives that give the characters an inner-life.
Represented by the Adam Baumgold Gallery in Manhattan, Bell is one of the leading lights in the new emphasis on drawing in the art world. He comes on like a stepchild of R. Crumb, Ray Johnson and Basquiat, armed with a dashing and looping rapidograph.
ABOUT MARC BELL:
Marc Bell is an internationally renowned artist who has been producing his highly intricate, absurdist work for well over ten years and has been greatly influential to a new generation of artists working in a similar vein. His work is constantly negotiating between disparate influences including comics, folk art, popular culture and Fine Art. Embedded in his drawings is complex and layered wordplay that allude to these influences while remaining deeply funny. Bell's works vary from pen and ink drawings colored with subtle watercolors, to comics, to elaborate mixed media cardboard constructions, and, put all together for the first time in Hot Potatoe, provide a comprehensive portrait of a multi-talented and influential contemporary artist. Originally from London, ON, Marc Bell currently lives in Montreal.Read More

OPENING OCTOBER 15th, 6-8pm
Adam Baumgold Gallery presents an exhibition of works by Marc Bell, "Hot Potatoe" from October 15 through November 25, 2009. Marc Bell's fourth solo exhibition at the gallery features 50 drawings, mixed media collages, and constructions. These works coincide with the release of his art/comic ...monograph "Hot Potatoe" published by Drawn and Quarterly that highlights Bell's works from this decade. With associations in both the comics and as Bell calls it "Fine Aht" worlds, he works both mediums in tandem, manifesting a paste-up universe of watercolor drawings, mixed-media cardboard constructions, altered found texts, comics, and any combination of the above. His wildly imaginative visual language is equal parts cartoon and cubism, laced with content that is wry, irreverent, and real.
Bell's mixed media construction "Shoo Slog," 2008 is comprised of ornate, seemingly disconnected details reassembled into a bigger, schematic-like composition. The different scales of writing insert layers of simultaneous meaning and comment, notes to self, signage, labeling, and notations of the inner workings of the piece. "Bell's works have their roots in draftsmanship, typography, and old-fashioned gags, but morph into assemblages that connect his images into real space.1" In "Airless Vacuum (The Gilded Pontoon)," 2009, Bell's free-associative text assembles into a poem in the same manner that the drawings, found images, and paintings are layered, rearranged, and substituted for each other to create the visual field. This work references Burroughs's cut up technique, ransom letters, and magnetic poetry sets - its suggested narrative is all the more touching for its patent absurdity. In all these works "Marc Bell is a riddle wrapped in a conundrum further wrapped in salty bacon.2" Also included in the exhibition are his intense, dizzying comics for avant-garde anthologies "Kramer's Ergot" and "The Ganzfeld."
Marc Bell, 37, was born in London, Ontario, and lives and works in Montreal, Quebec. His books include "Hot Potatoe," 2009, "Shrimpy and Paul and Friends," "The Stacks," "Worn Tuff Elbow" published by D + Q, and self published books and comics. Marc Bell's work was featured in The New York Times magazine "Play," 2006. He was the editor of and contributor to "Nog a Dod: Prehistoric Canadian Psychedoolia," 2006. His comic were serialized in The Montreal Mirror, The Halifax Coast, and Vice Magazine. His work was included in the touring exhibition "Pulp Fiction" organized by the Museum London, Ontario, "Bit By Bit" at the Contemporary Art Gallery Museum, Vancouver in 2007, and "The Panic Room - Works From The Dakis Joannou Collection," Deste Foundation, Athens, 2006.
The gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday 11-5:30 P.M. For additional information, please contact Adam Baumgold at (212)861-7338.Read More

D+Q welcomes John Porcellino on Oct. 6th 2009
For his new D+Q graphic novel MAP OF MY HEART
"[KING CAT COMICS] swell with passion and heart." - USA TODAY'S POP CANDY
"Since 1989, John prcellino's simple, and simpy beautiful, comics (along with letters, lists, and a few photographs) have been self published to growing accl...aim." - MINNEAPOLIS CITY PAGES
"Porcellino is a master at miniature poignance." - ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
MAP OF MY HEART celebrates the twentieth anniversary of John Porcellino's seminal and influential comics zine, KING CAT COMICS, which he started self publishing in 1989 and which has been his predominant means of expression. In this collection, while Porcellino is living in isolation and experiencing the pain of divorce he crafts a melancholic, tender graphic ballad of heartbreak and reflection. Known for his sad, quiet honesty rendered in his signature deceptively minimalist style, Porcellino has a command of graphic storytelling as sophisticated as the medium's more visually intricate masters. Few other artists are able to so expertly contemplate the sadness, beauty, and wonder of life in so few lines.
Please join D+Q at the Librairie for an evening with John Porcellino, who will be presenting a slide show on his career, taking a question and signing books.
