[Comicsstudiessociety] Introduction

[Josh Rose]

Hi Michael and Candida,

Nice to meet you Michael, and hear from you again, Candida (we first met 
at the inaugural CSS conference)!

I'm an art historian who initially specialized in modernism and, 
specifically, Surrealist photography.  In the past decade, though, my 
interests have been veering more and more towards comics, beginning with 
curatorial work.  I co-curated two exhibitions at Eastfield College on 
indie comics and zines with my colleague Iris Bechtol, and then in 2016 
I solo curated a large exhibition titled Heroes in the Making: The Art 
of Comic Production for the Greater Denton Arts Council.  This led me to 
begin focusing on exploring the overlap—or often lack thereof—between 
art history and the art world broadly and comics as an artform.

I'm still fairly new to all of this, so I look forward to hearing from 
you and everyone else on the list about what they are working on!

Best,
Josh
