Spelunkin Fer Culkin

Chris, Ginette and I are doing an Installation at Broken Pencil's Canzine this year. Here's our official Press Release.



SPELUNKIN’ FER CULKIN
Three Dimensional Zine Installation by Wowee Zonk

At
Canzine
Sunday, November 1, 2009
1pm - 7pm
The Gladstone Hotel
1214 Queen St. West (Queen just East of Dufferin)
Toronto


SPELUNKIN’ FER CULKIN is a three dimensional installation by Toronto artists Chris Kuzma, Ginette Lapalme and Patrick Kyle. Using Broken Pencil’s Canzine event at The Gladstone Hotel as a venue, the three emerging artists will take over a room of the hotel and transform it into a psychedelic cave-like atmosphere.

Kuzma, Lapalme and Kyle are frequent collaborators. Operating under the moniker Wowee Zonk, the recent OCAD graduates have released a multitude of self-published comic books and zines. To date, the group has presented two gallery shows and a book launch, and has curated Zine Eator, an extravagantly decorated small press booth at this year's Toronto Comic Arts Festival. These experiences inspired the group to take their work into the three dimensional realm for this year’s Canzine.

The group specializes in irony, quirky and bizarre stories and the absurd, and their installation will be rich with the lot. SPELUNKIN’ FER CULKIN is inspired by Macaulay Culkin's character Kevin in the film Home Alone. Kuzma, Lapalme and Kyle tell a story where an evil wizard named Mulkin Kelarkin kidnaps Culkin’s character and holds him hostage in a cavernous lair. The room will serve as a portal through which visitors can be transported to Mulkin Kelarkin's alternate dimension. The ridiculous premise and setting allows the group to do what they do best: create weird, wacky and wonderful things.

Come experience SPELUNKIN FER CULKIN at Canzine as Kuzma, Lapalme and Kyle step out from behind the exhibitor’s table and transform their zines into a tangible reality

This is the mock up for the Black Mass 2 cover and right behind it, the actual silkscreened version. The silkscreened one is a bit grimier than i has imagined. The screen i used for the title and the crystal thing was pretty dirty to begin with....I don't remember exactly what happened, but through some accident it wound up with a lot of photo emulsion residue that couldn't be washed out. The Last thing i remember printing with it was the covers to "Thirst Quenchers", which also came out pretty gritty. Maybe it's a just a lousy screen.



I just re-launched my illustration website. There is some new work and fine art stuff from suicide pact now online. Go and see.
