Inspired by Baltimore’s experimental filmmaking community, Colburn describes how her earliest films were assembled from audio-visual cast offs found in the city’s surplus dump. After making films without using a camera, Colburn describes how she started to shoot her own original paintings and collages.</p> <p><a href="http://artbabble.org/video/art21/martha-colburn-cuts-boring-parts-out" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://artbabble.org/video/art21/martha-colburn-cuts-boring-parts-out#comments animals Animation cats Film Martha Colburn Inspiration Materials and Process Art21 http://artbabble.org/sites/default/files/bvideos/3a/3a239dda2956267e/poster-image-01.jpg 3a239dda2956267e Fri, 23 Sep 2011 18:08:54 +0000 wesasketch 8795 at http://artbabble.org http://artbabble.org/video/art21/martha-colburn-musicians-live <div class="field field-type-nodereference field-field-series"> <div class="field-label">Series:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <a href="/series/new-york-close">New York Close Up</a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-nodereference field-field-institution"> <div class="field-label">Institution:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <a href="/partner/art21">Art21</a> </div> </div> </div> <p><em>How does an artist transform a solitary practice into a communal experience?</em> In this film, artist Martha Colburn leads a group of musicians in a series of live performances to her animated films at the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria, Queens. The raucous energy of the musical accompaniment to Colburn’s work—itself intensely kinetic and colorful, often depicting historically-inspired scenes of aggression and violence—belies the time-consuming and meticulous process by which the artist creates her stop-motion films.</p> <p><a href="http://artbabble.org/video/art21/martha-colburn-musicians-live" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://artbabble.org/video/art21/martha-colburn-musicians-live#comments Animation Film Martha Colburn Museum of the Moving Image Music Performance Performance Art21 http://artbabble.org/sites/default/files/bvideos/e3/e3e349f29451142e/poster-image-01.jpg e3e349f29451142e Fri, 23 Sep 2011 14:42:48 +0000 wesasketch 8788 at http://artbabble.org
