Anna Bunting-Branch in Conversation

QUAD
Derby, United Kingdom
Part of QUAD's Co-Lab season that aims to highlight collaborative working. A showcase of artists who usually employ traditional techniques but have taken their way of working into the digital realm.
Anna Bunting-Branch presents Warm Worlds And Otherwise, an exhibition featuring a newly commissioned digital work that relates to the artist’s interest in the encounters between feminist practice and science fiction, using painting, digital animation and Virtual Reality to explore ideas of worldbuilding, embodied perception and technologies of representation. Central to the project is META (2019), an experimental 360-degree VR animation transforming the artists’ hand-painted characters, props and backdrops into an immersive virtual story world. Also included is the new installation AU Sandbox (2020) which expands her imagined worlds, and an accompanying ambient sound piece by artist Aliyah Hussain that underscores the viewer’s experience in the Gallery space as well as in the virtual environment. Co-curated by Helen Starr and Peter Bonnell
