The Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art [SMoCA] presents a fall exhibition that reveals how animation has a magic that is never obsolete. This exhibition recalls the Museum buildings original life as a movie theater, as Gallery Four again becomes a screening room.
This exhibition, organized by senior curator Marilu Knode, presents video animations by three artists with wide-ranging international perspectives: Christine Rebet (a French artist who studied in Venice and London and now lives in New York), Hiraki Sawa (a Japanese artist who studied and now lives in London) and Shahzia Sikander (a Pakistani artist who undertook graduate studies in the U.S. and now lives in New York). Their approach to artmaking is equally cosmopolitan and recombinant. Rebet studied painting, stage design and choreography; Sawa, sculpture; and Sikander, traditional miniature painting.
