We in the C’est Bon-crew are working hard on our newest exhibition – Sånger om björnar (Songs of Bears). It will be a part of the ISV-festival in Malmö, with the opening night at 23 October at Biograf Spegeln and we are so psyched!
The word Singularity has alot of different, variations, versions and comes in many colors. Many different professions and studys have their own version of the word, but one definition unites them all:
Change, and transforming into something undefined. Something far beyond what we know now.
For the next issue of C’est Bon Anthology, we want to know what you belive lies beyond or what the word Singularity means for you.
The deadline is in between now and March 15th! You can use the submission-page on our website or send us an email to info@cestbonkultur.com!
Spec talk:
Anything is welcome, but best suited are comics about 4–22 pages. The format is 200×260 mm (7.9×10.2 in), black/white, in English. Within this space, there are no limits. If you’re interested, please send digital files using the form below, or paper copies to the address given here. We accept low-res files for consideration and will ask you for high-res files if your submission is accepted. The work can have been published before.
Note this: We are mainly looking for comics, graphic stories and sequiential art that tries to do something new and experiments with the medium. We LOVE new ideas and creative thinking.
We are loking forward to your submissions!
Here’s a little something from Wikipedia about it to get your thinking going.

CALL ALL COMIC-CREATORS! Submissions are now open for the next issue of C’est Bon Anthology on the theme ‘INTERPOSED’!
What’s in between?
There’s always conflicts, both good and bad. But what happends in the space between? It’s either black or white, hard or soft, warm or cold, but what about grey? What about the middleground and what’s good enough?
For the next issue of C’est bon Anthology we invite comics, graphic stories, sequential art and storytelling (We don’t care what you want to call it, just do it.) based on the theme ‘Interposed’. We are dying to know what you think lives in between.
The deadline is in between now and September 15! You can use the submission-page on our website or send us an email to info@cestbonkultur.com!

24 april 2012 är det dags för årsmöte för C’est Bon Kultur! Mötet börjar klockan 18:00 och hålls i C’est Bon Kulturs lokaler på Kulturhuset Mazetti i malmö!
C’est Bon Anthology volume 17 is here from the printers any day now, and we are looking forward to what’s going to be our next issue. After celebrating our ten year anniversary and looking back at our history, we return to our roots. For the next volume of C’est Bon Anthology the theme is a question; WHAT IS ART? What defines the artist? What makes something art?
And as usual, what we’re looking for are comics that rely on artistic ambitions and a will to experiment rather than what has been done a thousand times before. We want to expand the boundaries of what’s possible to achieve in the comics medium. Try new things, experiment and explore! Because that’s what art is all about, right?
Right?
The deadline is Mars 15th
For guidelines and more information about the submissions, head to the submissions page! You can send in your work trough the site, or send it in an email to bo@cestbonkultur.com

C’est Bon Kultur Presents: IN BETWEEN
(On November 7 of 2012, the intervals are revealed)
The comics collective C’est Bon Kultur take out the scalpel, cut along the lines of the thin sheets of reality, stepping into the borderlands between the panels. We try to exist between all the fabricated lines, created on paper by human hand. Precisely because they are created, designed, drawn in the sand, it is possible to look at them, to scrutinize their being, their silent division of the world. Surely there are stories there, in between other stories?
Seven artists take part in this exhibition:
One story, seven artists, six in betweens, seven stories.
C’EST BON KULTUR
Since 2001, C’est Bon Kultur has worked for a more varied and exciting comics culture in Sweden and on the international scene. The formal purpose of the organisation is to support, evolve and disseminate comics with higher artistic ambitions. The main vehicle for this purpose is the international comics art magazine, C’est Bon Anthology. We also arrange exhibitions of comics art, lectures and other cultural events.
The vision is to push the boundaries of what can be done in comics, to broaden the perspective of what the comics medium is and can be, both in relation to itself and to other art forms.
