Artist Talk and closing reception: February 13, 5-6:30 p.m.
The display features reproductions from original images by two pioneers of motion picture Eadweard J. Muybridge (1830-1904) and Harold E. Edgerton (1903-1990). Both men were innovators in a field of photography, and more specifically the moving image as it pertains to the main exhibition. These inventions changed the course of the film evolution for generations to come.
The theoretical framework for this project focuses on animation and the looping sequence through a variety of art forms. Featured artists include Eric Dyer, Juan Fontanive, Laura Heit, Ondrej Janek, and Anna Vasof. Their works explore a wide range of media and technical approaches that demonstrates high- and low-tech versions of the moving image. These contemporary works are juxtaposed with photographs by Harold E. Edgerton and Eadweard J. Muybridge to provide historical context for this study of motion.
