Event Description
Films from iotaCenter at the National Gallery of Art, Washington DC
Music and animation synchronize and harmonize in 15 playful abstract shorts by classic and contemporary animators. From Viking Eggeling's 1924 Symphonie diagonale, to Jules Engel's 1968 Silence, to New York artist Sharon Louden's 2011 digital creations—all the works presented are "whimsical, drawn-in-space creations that come alive and create their own narratives," as artist Louden describes her own work. Her new pieces are accompanied by live piano and percussion compositions written by Andrew Simpson. The older classic works feature their own original scores, intersections of visual and musical forms. (Approximately 100 minutes) Other films from iotaCenter's collection include:
LUMA NOCTURNA (1974) by Dennis Pies (aka Sky-David)
SWAN (1975) by Jules Engel
PRELUDES IN MAGICAL TIME (1988) by Sara Petty
3/78 (1978) and TWO SPACE (1979) by Larry Cuba
