VISUAL ART
- Akio Takamori: To Be Human
The late Seattle-based ceramicist Akio Takamori breathed a different kind of life into his figurative sculpturesâthey somehow feel drawn, composed not of earthenware or clay, but of pigment and ink. They sometimes remind me of the softness, the pliability of my favorite dolls. Born and raised in Japan, Takamoriâs largely autobiographical work engages the history of both Eastern and Western aesthetics, and the themes of cultural identity that ricochet between them and through him. In this show at James Harris Gallery, Takamoriâs sculptures will be paired with related prints of his own making. JASMYNE KEIMIG

- 'Book of Weirdo' Exhibition Featuring Peter Bagge
This exhibit at alternative comics bookstore and gallery Fantagraphics is held in honor of the release of The Book of Weirdo: A Retrospective of R. Crumb's Legendary Humor Comics Anthology. The bookâs focus is Weirdo, the Robert Crumb-helmed comics anthology series that was published from the early â80s to 1993, acted as a âlow artâ counterpoint to the modern higher-brow Raw, and tapped the talents of a wide swath of untraditional cartoonists. Among those was Peter Bagge, who was featured in Weirdo, then served as its editor for three years. (You know Bagge from memorable satires in exaggerated cartoon form, like his Pacific Northwestern-set Apocalypse Nerd, about two average dudes trying to survive in a world destroyed by nuclear fallout, or maybe Hate, one of the best-selling alternative comics of the 1990s, which featured antihero Buddy Bradley as the slacker hipster mouthpiece of Generation X.) Bagge is also among Book of Weirdoâs three editors, and works related to the anthology and book will presumably be on display alongside other Weirdo artists. LEILANI POLK
