THROWBACK THURSDAY! #TBT In 2009, Sun Xun: Shock of Time presented - TopicsExpress



          

THROWBACK THURSDAY! #TBT In 2009, Sun Xun: Shock of Time presented two recent hand-drawn animations by Hangzhou-based artist, Sun Xun (b. 1980, China). Shown together for the first time, Shock of Time (2006) and Lie of the Magician (2005) combined traditional drawing materials and printmaking techniques with digital media. The former depicted various tropes and metaphors of duration and transience made from hundreds of single illustrations drawn onto old Communist newspaper and magazine pages. Xun filmed these drawings to create a series of vignettes revolving around the passage of time. The latter made use of the artist’s own body as a landscape for images of nature (rain clouds evaporating, seedlings taking root) that evoked myths of creation. Sun Xun: Shock of Time was the artist’s first solo museum show in New York and the Drawing Paper is available online==>goo.gl/hgQlPf Images: Both images are stills from Sun Xun, Shock of Time, 2006. Single channel video, 5 minutes, 29 seconds, edition 3/6.Courtesy of Fortune Cookie Projects.
