in Seattle Kelly Mark
For this exhibition of over 20 works on paper, Kelly Mark utilizes the now-outdated graphic design tool of dry transferable lettering and patterns known as “Letraset” named after its manufacturer.

Alasdair Gray, Glasgow Piranesi

Alasdair Gray is best-known as one of Scotland's foremost novelists, the author of groundbreaking works including Lanark and 1982, Janine.

Stuart Gordon and Jeffrey Combs podcast about their EA Poe one-man show...
Dennis Paoli wrote the play, using a compilation of historical accounts, actual monologues, articles, letters and Poe's own words to construct the definitive portrait of American's most famous macabre poet. The play ran for months in Los Angeles and received unanimously glowing reviews. After seeing the show in November, we immediately invited Jeffrey Combs and director Stuart Gordon to come to Austin for this year's Fantastic Fest.
