Sweaty Eyeballs: Animation Adjacent
Expanded animation and associated artifacts
AREA 405 Gallery
405 East Oliver Street, Baltimore, MD, 21202
Sept 13 - Oct 20, 2024
Animation is an all-encompassing artform, embracing any medium and process an artist can come up with. Each frame of an animated film is an artwork in its own right, but when that artwork extends beyond the screen into the gallery, expect the unexpected. Sweaty Eyeballs: Animation Adjacent, opening Friday, September 13 at Area 405, highlights work by artists from the Baltimore, D.C. and Philadelphia regions, manifesting as an extension of their animation that finds its best home off the screen and outside the theater. The animator is concerned with the sequencing of the individual image and the illusion of movement created by playing those images in rapid succession, but not all of those images end up on a screen.
Animation Adjacent is presented in partnership with Baltimore’s homegrown Sweaty Eyeballs Animation Festival, and is curated by Corrie Francis Parks, a Baltimore based animator and Associate Professor of Visual Arts at UMBC.

Opening Reception: Friday, September 13 from 7-9pm
Exhibit Runs: September 13 - October 20, 2024
Gallery Hours: 
Thurs, Fri, Sat 12-4pm

Artists Include:
Kelley Bell
McCoy Chance
Jim Doran
Robby Gilbert
Taylor Goad
Eva Grandoni
Amy Lee Ketchum
Eric Millikin
Kat Navarro
Timothy Nohe

October 11, 2024 - Station North Second Friday Art Walk
Variety Show and Film Screening
7-9pm, FREE
In this modern interpretation of the vaudeville format, artists who are exhibiting in the exhibition, or who practice performance arts closely related to animation, will take the stage for a series of  5-10 minute acts of eclectic delight. An animation screening of short films by artists in the exhibition will follow the live acts with a short Q&A. These artists push the boundaries of animation as an artform, making films that incorporate experimental techniques, alternative narrative and non-narrative approaches, and a span of new and old technology. Visitors are welcome to attend all or part of the event.
