Andy Holden: Laws of Motion in a Cartoon Landscape, 2016 57min
followed by a discussion between Andy Holden and Esther Leslie
The Vasari Research Centre for Art and Technology and BIMI present a series of events, curated by Joel McKim and Esther Leslie, exploring multiple dimensions of digital animation.
'Andy Holden is an artist and musician whose approach is characterised by a desire to connect to audiences while retaining his own idiosyncratic internal references and motivations. Often concerned with our relationship to the past and how we make sense of ourselves, his work tackles history, nostalgia, and philosophical enquiry. Although the themes of his work are profound, Holden uses familiar lo-fi forms to express them. Cartoon characters, beer bottles covered in plaster, charity shop finds, and knitted sculptures all feature in his work. The ability to evoke both the burdens of existence and a childlike appreciation of the world around defines Holden's unique approach to how an artist should go about their practice.'
