MCA Denver presents conversation with comic artist Panter

March 18, 2015

The Museum of Contemporary Art Denver at 1485 Delgany  is presenting a conversation with Gary Panter, an acclaimed comic artist, illustrator and designer, at 7 p.m. March 26. Panter is well known for both his underground comics as well as his Emmy-winning work as a set designer on the innovative Saturday morning TV series “Pee-wee’s Playhouse.”

His work was featured in the exhibition Masters of American Comics presented by UCLA’s Hammer Museum, and he was the subject of a 2008 solo exhibition at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum. Panter will be in conversation with Director and Chief Animator Adam Lerner.

This conversation is presented by the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver as part of the Who Made the 80s? lecture series, which explores how the 1980s’ aesthetic emerged from the counterculture movement a decade earlier. The series coincides with the exhibition Mark Mothersbaugh: Myopia, on view at MCA Denver through April 12.

Tickets are $10 for the general public; $5 MCA Denver members. Tickets for the lectures are available for purchase at www.mcadenver.org or by calling 303-298-7554,  ext. 200.

Parking is available across 15th Street in the parking garage. Parking is three dollars after 4 p.m. and weekends (with no validation needed). Two-hour parking for $6 is available at the front desk all other times.
