Move it: Parts & Labour
10 September – 8 October 2016
Continuing our animation season, Oriel Davies brings an international programme of cutting-edge animated films in Parts & Labour. Part of an initiative called Move it the programme features over 20 films by artists who were selected from an open call explores animation as something that is ‘made’ – whether physically, digitally, or both – and is evidence that animation is a medium at the forefront of artistic and creative innovation, and the development of new techniques and approaches. The exhibition champions the animation artist and maker, and highlights their work and skill and the viewing of film programmes such as these in a Gallery context.
The works are grouped under three headings: Industry, Manufacture and Material although many other connections can be made between works. Perhaps comparing the different ways in which artists use drawing, and hand made or digital collage. Or the various disruptive approaches to narrative, abstraction and appropriating images from the media and games. There is a strong strand of political comment running through the exhibition, questioning how digital media shapes our lives, and our world. And there’s plenty of humour too.
Artists
Kristian Andrews, Catherine Anyango, Sebastian Buerkner, Paul Bush, Sophie Clements, James Duesing, Kevin Eskew, Richard Fenwick, Jake Fried, Jonathan Gillie, Michaela Grill, Ross Hogg, Rui Hu, Emanuele Kabu, Wednesday Kim, Guillaume Martial, Edwin Rostron, Vicky Smith, Steven Subotnick, David Theobald, Alan Warburton.
Seán Vicary’s work Ascension Ceiling was included in Parts & Labour but is presented in his Studies in Solastalgia as an installation piece.
