“Hero, Villain, Yeti: Tibet in Comics”
Characters as diverse as Mickey Mouse, the historical Buddha, Tomb Raider Lara Croft, and the Green Lama have something in common: Tibet. For more than sixty years Tibet has figured in comic books from around the world, at times creating and at times perpetuating notions of an otherworldly land roamed by the yeti, inhabited by wise and powerful lamas, or full of dark magic.
Hero, Villain, Yeti features the most complete collection of comics related to Tibet ever assembled, with examples ranging from the 1940s to the present. More than fifty comic books from the Belgium, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, and the United States reflect on the depiction of Tibet, tracing the historical roots of prevailing perceptions and stereotypes and their visual and narrative evolution over time.

GOOD AS NEW
Opening Reception January 19, 6–9 pm
GOOD AS NEW is an exercise in short-term solutions. The artists in this exhibition are aligned by their common interest in the "makeshift." Through photography and installation work, Aurélien Arbet, Jérémie Egry, David Brandon Geeting, Nicholas Gottlund, Bruno Zhu, and David Zilber convey ideas that "mean" well, but do not necessarily "do" well.
GOOD AS NEW opens to the public on January 19, 2012 6-9 pm and will be on view at Ed. Varie through February 12, 2012. Please contact the gallery for additional information, hello@edvarie.com.
