“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.

“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.

“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.

Join us on December 30th at Otto's Shruken Head for a night of Chick-infused Rock/Punk/Post-Punk/New-Wave/Funk and a heavy-dose of Glitter and GLAM!
10pm- The Lovely: Two hot mamas and one hot dude who rock with the power of 500 Andromedas. Raw lyrics intertwined with thunderous punk.
11pm- Auto Bonfire (*Debut Gig!*): Inspired by bands from the late 70's and early 80’s, Auto Bonfire blends a poppy, new romantic sound with a darker, post-punk edge. (Featuring Esther & Derek of The Electric Mess!)
12am- Discovery: Discovery makes deep and groovy music--mingling rock with funk. The band's live sets bring rhythmic Afro-beat and Latin elements to mix with smooth, spacey tones. Comparisons have included new wave acts like Human League and The Creatures.
Djs Xerox, Kathleen Lupe Loop, Moonray, and Kitty Beat spin rock, punk and new wave all night long! And it's Patty Garcia's (bassist for The Lovely) birthday bash! Drink Special in her honor: The Hot Garcia! (Much prettier than the "Hot Toddy"!)

“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.

Join us on December 30th at Otto's Shruken Head for a night of Chick-infused Rock/Punk/Post-Punk/New-Wave/Funk and a heavy-dose of Glitter and GLAM!
10pm- The Lovely: Two hot mamas and one hot dude who rock with the power of 500 Andromedas. Raw lyrics intertwined with thunderous punk.
11pm- Auto Bonfire (*Debut Gig!*): Inspired by bands from the late 70's and early 80’s, Auto Bonfire blends a poppy, new romantic sound with a darker, post-punk edge. (Featuring Esther & Derek of The Electric Mess!)
12am- Discovery: Discovery makes deep and groovy music--mingling rock with funk. The band's live sets bring rhythmic Afro-beat and Latin elements to mix with smooth, spacey tones. Comparisons have included new wave acts like Human League and The Creatures.
Djs Xerox, Kathleen Lupe Loop, Moonray, and Kitty Beat spin rock, punk and new wave all night long! And it's Patty Garcia's (bassist for The Lovely) birthday bash! Drink Special in her honor: The Hot Garcia! (Much prettier than the "Hot Toddy"!)

Hanuka Rock
Once upon a time, a long long time ago… a bunch of fringe radicals called the MACABEES opposed the powers of global hegemony: THE GREEKS. The MACABEES organized, and fought. And they won.
And THAT is the miracle of Hannuka!!
Today’s fight is just beginning. But you should still rock your socks off in memory of those righteous and radical Maccabeean freaks!
HANUKA ROCK
with….
THE SHONDES -Known for their political anthems and heartbreaking violin hooks, Brooklyn’s The Shondes bring the spirit of riot grrrl to their brand of Jewish-inflected indie rock. MTV Iggy called their new album, Searchlights, (9/20/11, Exotic Fever Records) “an instant classic.”
http://www.shondes.com/static/
YIDDISH PRINCESS – Double guitar onslaught. Drums beating you into submission. Precious analog synths beckoning. And a voice that can shatter ice and coo you into mellifluous bliss. Oyf Yiddish. Looking to reconcile your love of power pop and hard rock with your love of Yiddish music? Your search is over. Behold, Yiddish Princess.
