Comic-Concert with Reinhard Kleist
Sun 10 May 2015, 7 pm
Goethe Institut
From Goethe Institut:
The famous comic-strip artist Reinhard Kleist will show his drawing skills in a live show where his drawings will be inspired by songs of Johnny Cash. While a band will perform the songs of the country musician, Kleist will create a drawing to each single song. Thanks to a camera at the back of the artist, the audience will be able to witness the development of the art works live. Through Kleist’s drawings the music-legend Johnny Cash will be brought back to life one more time. Apart from his work on new novels and comic-strips, Kleist offers workshops for young artist and gives speeches on comic-strips and graphic novels all over the world.
After studying graphic and design Kleist moved to Berlin. Stays abroad in New York and Havanna inspired him for more art works. His works comprise also the award-winning graphic novels about Fidel Castro (“Castro”, 2010) and the Jewish boxer Hertzko Haft (“the boxer”, 2012). The comic-concert will take place after the vernissage of Kleist’s exhibition; it will round off this year’s European Literature Days.
Reinhard Kleist, born in 1970 near Cologne, studied graphic design in Münster. Currently he lives in Berlin, where he shares the studio BerlinComix with the comic artists Fil, Naomi Fearn and Mawil. He published numerous comics and won several awards, among others the Max und Moritz-Preis, the most significant award for graphic literature in Germany.
