Art Spiegelman, noted artist, historian, and theorist of comics, and saxophonist great Phillip Johnston performed \u201cWordless!\u201d as the keynote event at the 13th annual Cornerstone Arts Week in January. The performance combining slides, lecture, and music was highlighted by Spiegelman\u2019s discussion about the earliest graphic novels and their influence on him. As President Jill Tiefenthaler said in her introductory remarks to the sold-out crowd, \u201cWordless!\u201d debuted at the Sydney Opera House and then the Brooklyn Academy of Music, so the obvious third stop on the tour is Colorado College.<\/p>\n
The Cornerstone Arts Week events examined a single question, which this year was a quote from Spiegelman: \u201cWhat Are the New Words and Music?\u201d Events included a screening of \u201cSoundtrack for a Revolution,\u201d a film by Assistant Film and New Media Studies Professor Dylan Nelson; a presentation by Tim Sexton \u201982 titled \u201cWriting Across Culture\u201d; a talk by Ben Duhl \u201999 titled \u201cNew Media and the Wild West Coast: Out With the Old and In With the New\u201d; and a presentation by Toni Pizza \u201912 titled \u201cIndie Games: Design on the Margins.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
