The residency is over, but there are still many things to see

Although the residency is over, some cartoonists still participate in meetings organized this week in various bookshops in Franche-Comté. Tonight, it will take place at the Sandales d’Empédocle in Besançon.
You can come and talk to Sarah Glidden, Zak Sally and Anders Nilsen at 10.45 pm.
Just before, at 6 pm, the opening of “The Lost & Found”, Anders Nilsen‘s retrospective exhibition at Seize OGS.
Don’t hesitate to come and see, especially if you didn’t manage to come at the Saline this weekend. The exhibition is running till November 17.

Guided tour of The Lost & Found by the artist Anders Nilsen.

The Saline, reshaped as an island

This project initiated by Zak Sally is an island map where the cartoonists have pinned up bits and pieces of stories in interaction with reliefs and drawings already hung up. There is no reading direction, which offers numerous approaches of a same story.

A few funny details !

30 minutes, stopwatch in hand !

Take a group of 3 cartoonists, and a sheet of paper with 6 blank frames. Each of them has 5 minutes to draw a first frame using the first person ‘I’. Then give the sheet to one of his pairs next to him and take the sheet given by the third one to draw the second frame using the second person ‘you’ and so forth till the 6th frame.

Today there was an additional difficulty (HA HA HAA!): the language barrier. Each group included at least one non-French speaking cartoonist. This morning, some strips were thus written in two or even three languages.
