Contemporary Works of Abstraction
This program brings together examples of "visual music" animation from the last three decades, on film and video, using both computer-animation and other techniques. This diverse group of artists has taken its inspiration from the realms of religion (The Tibetan Book of the Dead, the Hebrew alphabet), science (topography, geometry), and even such quotidian experiences as driving at night.
Film include: Tanka (David Lebrun, 1976), Stele (Robert Darroll, 1999), un albor (Dawn) (Ying Tan, 1999), Unbroken Pieces (Amy Alexander, 1996), Four Moves (Bart Vegter, 1987), Seaweed (Jeremy Rendina, 1999), Feuerhaus (Firehouse) (Baerbel Neubauer, 1998), Arapadaptor (I Feel So) (Anna Geyer, 2002), Merkaba (Sky David, 1973), Please Don’t Stop (Stephanie Maxwell, 1988), Fossils (Celia Mercer, 1999), Whisper (Secret Sauce, 1996), Full Moon Segment 2 (Paul Glabicki, 2001).
