Tracing the Line

Experimental film and video works exploring the relationship between film and drawing practice are brought together in a screening complementing the current exhibition Nothing is Forever. Ranging from early animation through to contemporary video made with computer manipulation, the featured works embrace a broad spectrum of techniques including drawing directly on celluloid and the use of chance as a creative process.

Includes works by George Barber, Sebastian Buerkner, Oskar Fischinger, David Haxton, Takahiko Iimura, Joan Jonas, Len Lye, Stan Vanderbeek and Lawrence Weiner.
