DISCUSSION OVERDRIVE:
ROBERT CRUMB AND ALEKSANDAR ZOGRAF
Friday 4.12., 19:00 UTC+01
Location: Klub Močvara Facebook page ( / mochvara )
Robert Crumb, born in 1943, is one of the most influential figures in the world of comics. During the 1960s, he was certainly the most prominent representative of the American underground comix revolution, while his creativity has shaped the thinking of a whole generation of people to this day. Crumb’s comics are cheeky and cynical, while striking the nerve of modern man and his weary psyche. His work is certainly deeply expressive, painfully honest and politically incorrect, but at the same time reflective about the meaning of everything. Cleverly continuing on the tradition of American popular art, Crumb dared to ridicule the disgrace of mainstream America, while today he mostly spends his time in contemplation in his house in the south of France.
Our discussion with Robert Crumb will include some current topics such as Covid-19, the recent US presidential election or the fate of comics in the modern world will be led by Saša Rakezić alias Aleksandar Zograf, comic author from Pančevo (Serbia), which will be a great opportunity to hear his different thoughts on the topics above. He has been active on the international scene since the early 1990s, publishing his thoughts and research in the form of short comics. Readers of Serbo-Croatian-Bosnian language (or whatever you call that language) have been able to read his comics each week in the Belgrade magazine Vreme since 2003, while collections of his works appeared in Italy, France, Japan, Portugal, Austria, Hungary and elsewhere.
