Ben Gijsemans Hubert, published by Jacoby & Stuart and translated by Edmund Jacoby and Maria Holtrop.The following authors will be presenting the German translations of their work: In the Netherlands and Flanders you can follow all this at Erik Kriek and Marcel Ruijters will also be in Erlangen at the end of May. Four issues will be produced in Erlangen in a limited edition. It will also include contributions from graphic novelists not be with us at Erlangen. ‘Parade’ will be in a 20-page, A5 format magazine and feature comics from the Netherlands and Flanders. The project is being managed by Randall Casaer and Joost Swarte, with the participation of the graphic artists Jeroen Funke (Lamelos), Wasco and Charlotte Dumortier. There, on the spot, they will be producing the magazine, ‘Parade’, and printing it on the Risograph. This is also the team that will be working on a magazine in a live drawing workshop set up in a room in the town hall. The art museum is presenting an exhibition of original works by Brecht Evens, Ben Gijsemans, Olivier Schrauwen, Simon Spruyt and Guido van Driel. Visitors are immersed in the world of the dangerous twins, Kinky & Cosy, created by the graphic novelist Nix. This exhibition premièred at the Angoulême International Comics Festival in 2015 and has been travelling through Europe ever since.
In the city centre, the exhibition ‘The Kinky & Cosy Experience’, which, as the name already suggests, is more of an experience, has been installed in a container.
In that context, from 26 to 29 May – in collaboration with the Flemish Literature Fund, the Netherlands Foundation for Literature and the Frankfurt 2016 team – the Erlangen Festival is presenting two exhibitions, a live drawing workshop and the magazine, ‘Parade’. This applies to all genres, from poetry and prose to graphic novels. In the run-up, dozens of Dutch and Flemish authors are already billed at major festivals in Germany.
In October, Flanders and the Netherlands will be guest of honour at the Frankfurt Book Fair. Flemish and Dutch graphic novels will be featured in two exhibitions, a live drawing workshop, a special magazine, ‘Parade’ that will be printed on the spot on the Risograph and in loads of readings and encounters. Recent work by all the authors has been translated into German. More than ten Dutch-language graphic novelists have been invited to the 17th International Comic-Salon Erlangen, the most important international comic festival in Germany.
