What do Bruce Springsteen, Ta-Nehisi Coates and Matt Groening have in common? These cultural icons were midwifed by alternative weekly papers. Once a vital outlet for local news, culture and entertainment and proving ground for burgeoning journalists, cartoonists and illustrators, alt-weeklies have plummeted in number since the 90s; vanishing entirely in some markets.
Disappearing Ink is a solo exhibition by Fred Noland, sampling work from his years as an editorial illustrator. With topics ranging from police over-reach and political machinations to noisy dog parks. His use of traditional media harkens back to a time when the weeklies were still a force. The papers are slowly disappearing, but the art and the message remains.
