Karen Rubins six month residency at the Victoria and Albert is coming to an end, but she still has a final set of Open Studio days to come this weekend, Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th, from 1 to 4pm. The collaborative comics experiment Stories for Humanity: Contemporary Comics has now been taken down, but Karen tells us she is hoping to take all the pictures by visitors which she has collected and post them up on the V&A website in the near future. I think its terrific that a world-famous museum and gallery like the V&A has held a comics residency like this, its great to see the medium so recognised by those in the arts community, kudos to them and to Karen for making such a success of it.
