I (Doug Skinner, that is) will be participating in a show of artwork by Carousel contributors at the Dixon Place Gallery on September 3.

R. Sikoryak’s Carousel is Dixon Place’s longest continually running performance series, featuring a wide array of comic strip makers, graphic novelists, visual artists and luminaries from the downtown New York Theater and music worlds, presenting work in front of a live audience. It seems only natural to show these artists’ work on Dixon Place’s Gallery walls. The exhibition will feature gag cartoons, graphic novel pages, painted storyboards and more, on subjects including autobiography, classic literature, anatomy, and other heady topics.

The opening on September 3 will be followed by the Carousel performance series in the theater at 7:30 pm, with live appearances by artists showing work in The Gallery. I will be reading from my book The Unknown Adjective; Shae D’lyn and Ralph Hamperian will join me. Other artists include Brian Dewan, Emily Flake, Danny Hellman, Miriam Katin, Jason Little, Jim Torok, Kriota Willberg, and, of course, R. Sikoryak.

Dixon Place, 161A Chrystie Street, NY NY 10002

Opening Reception Wednesday September 3, 2014.  6 pm-7:30 pm. On view: August 29 – October 3, 2014.
