British animator Joanna Quinn is obsessed with drawing. In an age where animation is dominated by slick computer-generated imagery, her films stand out because they are so evidently handdrawn: pencil and sparse colour on white paper, the constantly shifting lines expressing the huge vitality of her characters, whether it is the old crone and the knight in The WIFE OF BATH, the Toulouse-Lautrec-inspired off-duty prostitutes in ELLES or her signature character, Beryl, in any of the three films that feature her. Joanna Quinn’s acute observation combined with her sharp comedic sense produces films that have entranced audiences and won major awards all round the world.

This exhibition, created and organised by the National Media Museum, Bradford, presents a selection of her artwork and films from the last twenty-five years, examines the sources of her inspiration and follows the process that takes her from initial ideas to final, award-winning animated films. It will also look at the business of being an animator in today’s globalised arenas of animation and advertising.

Working closely with Joanna Quinn, who will act as design and artistic consultant, "Drawings that Move -- The Art of Joanna Quinn" is curated by Michael Harvey. His previous exhibitions include the internationally-touring Bond, "James Bond" (2002), "Myths and Visions: The Art of Ray Harryhausen" (2006) and "Live by the Lens. Die by the Lens: Film Stars and Photographers" (2008).

Content
The exhibition will largely consist of framed artwork (approximately 75 frames) with cased objects (awards, books, notebooks), video (x2 monitor-based, x1 projected OR monitorbased) and interpretive panels to introduce each section.

Gallery Two
"Drawings that Move -- The Art of Joanna Quinn" will be shown in Gallery Two at the National Media Museum. Objects will be presented across approximately 80 linear metres in a space measuring approximately 250 square metres.
