Our friends Peter and Christopher from Hooliganship rolled into town with another installment of CARTUNE XPREZ, a collection of experimental animationes from a bunch of awesome artists PLUS a brand new HOOLIGANSHIP performance. On the buzz of their 2006 show they brought out a standing-room only capacity crowd and sent people home with lots of smiles and a few 3-D glasses.

 

 
Program Highlights:

Bruce Bickford - Inversion Layer (excerpt)
Considered by some critics to be the world's greatest animator, he first garnered recognition for his collaborations with Frank Zappa in the 1970s.  'Inversion Layer' is a fast-moving pencil
line-animation in which Bickford relentlessly transforms human figures and faces into peculiar beasts, burgers, and other oddities.

Shana Moulton: The Mountain Where Everything is Upside Down
Shana Moulton, born in 1976 lives and works in New York City. She creates evocative videos and performances that combine new age humor with a low-tech elegance. Her use of subtle video effects and simple animated objects charges the seemingly banal domestic rituals in her videos with supernatural qualities. In 'The Mountain Where Everything is Upside Down' Moulton stars as Cynthia, an anxiety-ridden hypochondriac who explores a collection of nick-knacks in a surreal workout room.

Takeshi Murata: Escape Spirit VideoSlime
Primarily an abstract animator, Murata has gained recent notoriety through his innovative psychedelic videos. In 'EscapeSpiritVideoSlime' he digitally deconstructs and rebuilds a peculiar jungle landscape.

Hooliganship – Realer   *LIVE PERFORMANCE*
They formed Hooliganship in 2002 creating performances, videos, music, and installations that revel in a hypnotic abundance of digital information. In REALER live music, cartoons, and video game worlds cross paths in a surreal adventure through 3 dimensions. 3D glasses are included.
