Some MoCCA Functionary On Kim Deitch-Related Events At MoCCA (PR)
posted October 26, 2008
 

Cartoon Movie Night with Kim Deitch: October 30, 7 pm

Kim Deitch will host a Cartoon Movie Night featuring rarely seen animated cartoons from the 1920s and 1930s hand-picked for the occasion from Deitch's own personal collection. This period of animation inspired Deitch's signature character Waldo the Cat and is the subject of his acclaimed graphic novel The Boulevard of Broken Dreams, which is featured in the exhibit. As a special Halloween treat, MoCCA will also display for one night only selected specimens from Deitch and spouse Pam Butler's extensive collection of antique toy cats. The blurring of fact, fiction and autobiography in Deitch's work is a major focus of Kim Deitch: A Retrospective, and this display will present a rare opportunity to see the historical artifacts that motivate the fictional narrative in Deitch's graphic novel Alias the Cat.

Kim Deitch Q & A with curator Bill Kartalopoulos: November 13, 7 pm
A Q&A session with Deitch and exhibit curator Bill Kartalopoulos. In a unique and wide-ranging conversation, the two will discuss Deitch's work and career to date. Deitch will present examples of recent work and will also preview images from his current works in progress.
