Slightly Uncanny Art Expo

Watching Tv friday morning I came across a Tv show that highlighted an new art expo in Montreal. The Exhibit is titled "Slightly Uncanny" and information seems pretty scare right now.

 Ill be providing some links and instructions to watch the Tv show online for free at the end of this blog.

But basically, at the end of this episode there was a great interview about an art show involving Marvel Superhero Spiderman and Freudian concepts (Sigmund Freud, psychoanalysis) of superhero's were discussed, citing how superheros generally are these alter-egos where repressed desires can be lived out for the characters of the comic but also the authors. Also important to mention is how these freudian concepts appear to get washed out in pop culture or movie adaptions.

We completely support this art expo and these academic discussions, it really helps to show the actual complex nature of comics, despite these examples being from the superhero genre.

The video is a pain in the butt to.
