971 Horses + 4 Zebras
World Stareout Competition, created by Paul Hatcher, animated by Chris Shepherd, from Graham Linehan & Arthur Matthew's BBC/Talkback sketch show Big Train
971 Horses + 4 Zebras is a gallery exhibition celebrating the unpredictable processes of experiments with animation, with a focus on how animation as a labour intensive process and form is being applied in the creation of conceptual artworks. The title is taken from a work by Yu Araki in which image of hourses, appropriated from the internet, reference the pre-cinema animation of Edweard Muybridge.
The exhibition includes work by artists from the UK, Japan, Ireland, Australia and the USA, and is curated by Jordan Baseman and Animate’s Associate Director, Gary Thomas. From November 2012 it will tour to WIMBLEDON Space, London, UK; CAST, Tasmania; MADA, Melbourne, Australia; and The British School at Rome, Italy.
