This event has ended.

Featuring over 200 works on paper, the event marks the first time an entire graphic novel has been exhibited at a contemporary arts organization.

"This installation transforms the book into a new, immersive experience that will reinvent the way people interact with graphic novels,” states White Box founder and artistic director, Juan Puntes. The graphic novel adapts Sun Tzu's iconic strategy text into a thriller set in a violent near-future when financial markets are militarized and China is the world’s dominant economy. Written and storyboarded by
Kelly Roman and illustrated by Michael DeWeese, the book took six years to create and will be published on July 31 by Harper Perennial, the literary fiction imprint of HarperCollins.

The book has already received outstanding early reviews, including a strong recommendation from Comic Book Resources. Retired US Army General Stephen N. Xenakis calls the book "an astounding adaptation of Sun Tzu's ancient text" and former Carnegie Endowment senior associate Minxin Pei states that the book should be "required reading for those concerned with the future of America and its place in the world."
