Making Motions

'AniMotion,' an exhibition and screening series at Gallery F-15 in Moss, Norway, explores the state of animation from technical, narrative, structural, and cultural perspectives. Curated by Elisabeth Byre, the exhibition features the work of Michael Bell-Smith, Ian Burns, Ewa Einhorn, Mai Hofstad Gunnes, Ezra Johnson, and Martin Skauen. The term 'animation' could be used to classify these artists' work, but the descriptor falls far short. Instead, 'AniMotion' attempts to show the scope of the word as applied to media art production today. The accompanying screening programs curated by Peter Burr, Bjorn Hegardt, and Hanne Mugaas will further expand on the themes brought to light by the artists in the physical installation space.
