Visiting Artist Series: Daniel Barrow

The Visiting Artist Series will be held in-person on Mondays at 2 pm in the University Theatre (ADM 026) as part of the CCS 150 Creative and Critical Art Theory class. These talks are open to the public.

Daniel Barrow uses simple (often antiquated) technologies to present pictorial narratives by merging the methods of cinema, comics, animation, and magic lantern shows. They are best known for adapting comic book narratives to “manual” forms of animation by manipulating drawings on an overhead projector. They have presented their projection performances at international venues including: The Walker Art Center (Minneapolis) The Museum of Contemporary Art (Los Angeles), PS1 (NYC), The Portland Institute for Contemporary Art’s TBA festival, and the British Film Institute. They are the winner of the 2010 Sobey Art Award and the 2013 Glenfiddich Artist in Residence Prize.
