Curatorial Notes:
In partnership with Baltimore’s homegrown Sweaty Eyeballs Animation Festival, Area 405 Gallery hosts a group show, Sweaty Eyeballs: Animation Adjacent. 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. This exhibition highlights work by animators that finds its best home off the screen and outside the theater. Whether made during film production or as an adjacent practice, the artists in this exhibition expand their work through collage, sculpture, protocinema, projection mapping, augmented reality, and generative processing.

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.
