Book Launch & Exhibit Closing Reception: Late Comeback Press

Book Launch & Exhibit Closing Reception: Late Comeback Press In-Person

Join us to celebrate the launch of Late Comeback Press's newest publication, Around & Around, and a closing reception for the exhibition blue, as a feeling. 

Around & Around is a comic about the anxiety around aging and feeling a stagnation in life. Designed as a closed accordion booklet that has no obvious beginning or end, it reads like an endless loop of thoughts.

The book was produced at George Mason University and printed in a combination of risograph, silkscreen, and letterpress in an edition of 100 copies, which will be available for sale at the reception. 

This event is free and open to the public–please register below!

ABOUT THE PROJECT 

In Spring 2024, Late Comeback Press co-founders Rachna Soun and Caroline Kim served as artists-in-residence for AVT 446 // Dynamic Publishing, a course in Mason’s School of Art that introduces students to the art of publishing in collaboration with a visiting artist. During the semester, the students produced their own short comic stories and received regular feedback from Caroline and Rachna. The students also witnessed the artists produce Around & Around, from initial, loose sketches, to finished book.  

In parallel with the class and publication, Fenwick Gallery organized the exhibition blue, as a feeling, which presents selections from Late Comeback’s catalog with works from Soun and Kim, along with artists Janet Shin, Neil Neill, and Cam Del Rosario.
