Karen Beckman, from Penn's Cinema Studies and Art History programs, has curated for the ICA a series of media makers using animation:
The Animate Art! series foregrounds the recent interest that artists have shown in a variety of animation practices within the museum context. Through conversation with artists from a variety of geographic locations we will consider a variety of questions, including: the relationship between animation and other media; contemporary artists' engagement with the histories of art and film; the role of music; the differences among various forms of animation; and animation's treatment of history, time, and place.
This Thursday, at 6:30pm,
the series continues with Jennifer Levonian, a local artist who works in cut-paper animation. Levonian will screen her latest film,
The Oven Sky, with a live performance by New York-based artist and singer Rachel Mason.
