Rose Bond - Animation

Intra Muros PDX

Originally presented during Portland's Platform International Animation Festival, in 2007.

Activating the public space as a Platform Festival street installation, Rose Bond’s Intra Muros delivers a personal and voyeuristic glimpse into an artist’s struggles with creative malaise. Bond visually samples work from experimental giants Norman McLaren, Len Lye and herself as Judith Gruber-Stitzer’s soundtrack ranges from contemplative to cacophonous.

New Animation Installation at Animated Exeter February 2010

A site-specific animation installation by Rose Bond commissioned for Animated Exeter February 11-13, 2010 Exeter, UK.

Nine windows across the stone front of an English castle provided the stage for Rose Bond’s most recent animated installation, “Broadsided!” which opened the 2010 Animated Exeter Festival. The piece, sparked by Bond’s research in the city archives of Exeter, takes a tale of petty crime and juxtaposes it against images of power, class and luck to question the very premise of justice. This starkly appropriate piece fit castle site – it served as the Devon Crown Court for the past 250 years, holding prisoners in its dark cellar until two years ago.
