Tuesday November 9, 7pm Eastern Time.

The 318th meeting of the NY Comics & Picture-story Symposium will host Rotland Press in an ONLINE PRESENTATION VIA ZOOM. Please email comicssymposium@gmail.com to register for this event. Free and open to the public.

“From Rot New Growth Emerges or, How I Learned to Be a Publisher and Like It”

“Founded in 2010, Rotland Press is a small publishing house in Detroit, Michigan, USA. It is a publisher of printed objects trafficking in the graphic and the satirical, that mingle mordant amusement with enthusiastic despair. Publisher and editor-in-chief Ryan Standfest will discuss the messy business of how and why he started the press and how he has somehow managed to keep it going for this long. After a two-year hiatus from new publications, in 2020, the ten-year anniversary for the press and the start of our pandemic way of life, Standfest refocused his editorial energies on Rotland. This renewed commitment to publishing was the result of making the best use of “hunkering down” time in what became a lengthy quarantine routine. Standfest will discuss the mis-steps and blind alleyways he has taken as an editor and publisher as well as the surprising successes that he had no hand in planning. He will also speak to the ways in which recent political, social and public health catastrophes have shaped a route for Rotland Press as it moves forward.”

The New Art of Protest: Artist as Publishing Auteur

Discussion with Q&A featuring:
Artist and printmaker Sue Coe (@suecoeart); artist, writer and the editor-in-chief and publisher of Rotland Press, Ryan Standfest (@ryanstandfest); artist and associate professor of art at Rice University, Christopher Sperandio (@pinko_joe); and artist and publisher Stanley Wany.

There’s nothing new about protest art. But, today, as political demonstrations surge and echo around the world, the visual practice of dissent is morphing and proliferating. Politically engaged art publishing is energized as perhaps never before. This panel discussion brings together a group of artists and artist publishers whose practices represent some of the fresh approaches, original imagery and/or new distribution channels of the new protest art. Topics for conversation range from the artist as publishing auteur and the recent globalization of new platforms for distribution to the political dimensions of imagery and authorship. The recurring question of our day will also be considered: i.e., amid the current onslaught of social and other digital media, is anybody listening?

Follow the link in our bio to learn more and join the discussion.
