Animate

Animate exhibition series looks at the role the medium has in the field of contemporary art. The series will kick off with Estonian animation director Priit Pärn, one of the most prestigious animation artists in the world and a central force driving animation education at the Turku Arts Academy towards global recognition. The Darkroom gallery at the Turku Art Museum presents a selection of Priit Pärn’s work from across the decades.

Priit Pärn’s animations are based on his own scripts. He draws the characters and the storyboard, but the actual animation is done by professional animators at the studio. While Pärn’s works are based on narrativity, they can at times feel perplexing. Pärn does not serve his stories on a plate, leaving instead room for interpretation. The engaging visuality of Pärn’s animations lingers on long after the viewing experience. Read more...
