'RE:animate' Art Exhibition
Saturday 26 June 2010 - Wednesday 18 August 2010
'RE:animate' is the fourth Oriel Davies Gallery biennial Open exhibition. Submissions were sought which explored animation in its broadest sense. Work selected deals with the actuation of movement, the possibilities of non-narrative structure and the potential of audience participation.
Fourth in the series of Oriel Davies biennial Open exhibitions, this year’s show, RE:animate, showcases an inspirational selection of work by 39 artists from across the UK. This year, submissions were invited from individuals whose practice or specific works explore the notion of animation in diverse and intriguing ways. Our intention and aspiration is to offer the opportunity for an expanded and broad interpretation of this discipline while using the gallery space as an alternative viewing platform.
The term animation derives from the Latin ‘anima’ meaning life, and ‘animare’ meaning to breathe life into. Throughout history and across the world, the urge to experiment with techniques to present an impression of a moving image has been profound - from cave drawings, magic lanterns, flick books and thaumatropes to cel animation, stop-motion film and computer generated imagery. In this exhibition, works range from depictions of image sequences, both statically and in rapid succession, to actual moving objects while also exploring the possibilities of non-narrative structures and alternative realities. Through installation, projection, photography and drawing, the resulting show presents a rich
