Animation Breakdown Study Day, Saturday, 21 March
With an emphasis on practice, and the artist’s perspective, the day
will embrace an eclectic range of approaches, and ask how digital and
hybrid technologies are influencing artists and their work.
Curators Stoffel Debuysere and MarĂa Palacios Cruz will kick things
off with an illustrated talk to help "dismantle the common a priori
assumptions on animation film and its limitations".
As part of their presentation, they’re showing some films, too:
Snack and Drink (Bob Sabiston, USA, 1999, 3’40”)
The Simpson Verdict (Kota Ezawa,
GE/US, 2002, 3’)
Infinite Justice (Karl Tebbe, Germany, 2006, 2’)
The Quick and the Dead (Stephen Andrews, Canada, 2004, 1’30”)
I've got a guy running (Jonathon Kirk,
USA, 2006, 7’12”)
Paths of g (Dietmar Offenhuber, Austria, 2006, 1’)
Capitalism : slavery (Ken Jacobs, USA, 2007, silent, 3’)
The rest of the day is given over to three panels of artists,
presenting and discussing their work:
Simon Faithfull, Ann Course, Samba Fall, Joshua Mosley, David Blair,
Jennifer Steinkamp, Dryden Goodwin, Emily Richardson, Ori Gersht
The panels are chaired by curators Angela Kingston, Steven Bode and
David Chandler.
