FLOATING WORLD COMICS & ORANGE SUNSHINE PRESENTS:
"THE LAND OF BROKEN HEARTS"
A RARE EXHIBITION OF ARTWORK BY AL COLUMBIA
Floating World Comics presents a rare and exclusive opportunity to view
new work by the acclaimed and elusive artist Al Columbia. September?s
first Thursday will see the debut of ?THE LAND OF BROKEN HEARTS,? marking
the first public exhibition and appearance by the enigmatic artist in over
a decade. The exhibition will feature a large collection of limited
edition prints, original artwork, handmade books, and other ephemera from
his Orange Sunshine Company, much of it created especially for this show.
The artist will also participate in an informal Q&A during the event.
"THE LAND OF BROKEN HEARTS" is a new series of illustrations that serves
as a preview for a new collection of work that Columbia will release in
2008 from Seattle?s Fantagraphics Books. Floating World will have all of
Columbia?s published works to date on hand at the event, including The
Biologic Show, Blab!, Mome, and Zero Zero.
The opening night reception will be documented on film by Kevin Belli, a
Boston filmmaker who has been creating the documentary "Whatever Happened
to Al Columbia?" over the last four years.
LISTING INFORMATION:
WHO: Al Columbia and ?The Land of Broken Hearts?

?The Land of Broken Hearts? runs through Oct. 2
Floating World Comics is greatly honored to host Columbia, who will be
visiting from his home in Connecticut. ?I've been a fan of Al Columbia's
since I first read his groundbreaking masterpiece, ?The Trumpets They
Play?,? says Floating World Founder Jason Leivian. Published in the
anthology Blab! Vol. 10 in 1998, ?The Trumpets They Play? has been hailed
as one of the great short stories the comics medium has ever produced,
retelling the story of the apocalypse from the Book of Revelations in a
style that looked like stills from a 1930s Max Fleischer cartoon. The
story caused an instant stir, and comics fans couldn't wait to see what
Columbia would do next. Unfortunately, after ?Trumpets? was released,
Columbia more or less disappeared from the comics scene. This show will
end a 9 year silence for him and offers his fans a very rare opportunity
to meet him in person.
If you are interested in obtaining an interview or providing coverage of
this event please contact Jason Leivian. A selection of digital imagery is
also available in a variety of formats.
