For the Parasol unit’s exhibition Tabaimo: Boundary Layer, and for the Time Out First Thursdays series of events, Animate Projects’ Co-director Gary Thomas will be giving a gallery talk focusing on the term ‘Ridding Excess’: looking at the ways artists use the particular properties of animation to engage us in disrupting narratives.

Since her graduation from art school in 1999, Tabaimo’s innovative and large-scale animated drawings have been extensively shown to major critical acclaim, both in Japan and internationally. Tabaimo is known for her skilfully drawn and disturbing animations that mix imagery from contemporary Japanese life with digital video technique. All animations are hand-drawn by the artist.

The exhibition at Parasol unit will be comprised of five video installations: Japanese Kitchen, 1999; hanabi-ra, 2003; guignorama, 2006; public conVENience, 2006; and yudangami, 2009. The exhibition will be accompanied by a new publication.

Tickets: £5.00/3.00 concessions. Booking is essential due to limited spaces. To guarantee your place please book on 0207 490 7373 or email events@parasol-unit.org
