Edward Zajec: "ORPHICS" - Exhibition at the WRO Art Center, Wrocław, Poland
Categories:
 |
"Orphics" is a two-decades old cycle of graphical compositions inspired by music. The works are interpretations of renowned 20th century composers (Satie, Bartók, Ravel) in terms of form and color, however, not in the manner of traditional animation, but through systemic transformation. The result is a relationship between elements in space and time: every frame of the compositions portrays exactly these two dimensions of sound organization of subsequent metres. The exhibition also includes "glAmor," a visual ode to the powers making the geometry move us in emotional, cerebral and spiritual ways.
[WRO Art Center] When: Opening: September 12, 2008, 6:30pm; Exhibition: September 13, 2008 - October 11, 2008 Place: WRO Art Center, Wrocław, Poland Website: WRO Art Center Email: info@wrocenter.pl |

Happy Birthday Cecile Starr! - Cecile Starr turns 87
Categories:
 |
Throughout her life Cecile has been a been a devoted guardian and advocate of independent film. Her writing, teaching, promoting, and preserving of independent film has helped pave the way for many artists, filmmakers, and writers working within independent cinema. She is perhaps best known to many for her invaluable text, Experimental Animation (1976, reprinted in 1988 and now out of print) co-written with Robert Russett. Her career began in the news industry, which led to writing about films. She soon realized that there were works – art films and shorts – that were being overshadowed and ignored; films by people such as Hans Richter, Len Lye, Mary Ellen Bute, and Oskar Fischinger.
Her love of such films and her spirited work to see that they have an audience and that they endure is her great gift to all of us. We invite you all to raise a glass, light a candle, or perhaps project a film in her honor. From your friends at iota - Happy Birthday Cecile! |
