Join artists Gretchen Lawrence and Coumba Samba for an abstract animation workshop inspired by anti-style graffiti and abstract art.
About
If traditional animation is rooted in film and focuses on scenes imitating life, experimental animation is the complete opposite. Gretchen and Coumba lead us to discover the beauty of minimal production, amateur aesthetics and nonlinear storytelling. In this abstract animation workshop we will make 12 frame loops inspired by anti-style graffiti and abstract art.
Tues, 19 March, 6.30-8.30pm

Evening workshop format: Our series of Evening workshops will focus on extending drawing through low-tech, low cost, DIY techniques. The creatives leading each workshop are young and emerging, yet each is working in a strong and accomplished way with their approach and materials. Curated by Issey Kang.
BIO
Gretchen is an Estonian performance and audio-visual artist working with found objects, flicker animation and digital media. Coumba is an American interdisciplinary artist. Her work is rooted in studying process, hybridity, materiality and modes of visual communication.
Sharing a collaborative practice, they work with collage, sculpture, music and animation. They showed their collaborative installation Cityscape (2023) in Emalin, London UK. Their ongoing project is called NEW YORK, a pop music and performance project, in which they experiment with sampling of royalty free loops, impulsive lyrics and animated music videos. NEW YORK self-released their debut album No Sleep Till N.Y. in 2022.
