Hales is excited to announce that Trenton Doyle Hancock will be speaking at The Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College on 30 March, as part of their annual Winter/Miller Lecture program.
Hancock has been revered as an innovative world-builder, developing his own fantastical narrative for almost two decades. Hancock's prolific artistic output is part autobiographical and part fictional, often centering on current events to drive his ongoing narrative. In Hancock's world, the character Torpedo Boy functions as the artists' alter ego who protects the benevolent Mounds from the wrath of the Vegans of the underworld. New York Times art critic Roberta Smith describes this conflict of good vs. evil as Hancock's "epic, racially charged battles between comical color-loving meat-eating blobs and knobby white vegan villains."
The lecture will take place at the The Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum on 30 March 2023 at 6pm CST. The in-person event is free and open to the public.
