About this event
Aggregate Animated Shorts
Third Annual International Short Film Festival
August 2 - August 31, 2019
In our ongoing effort to present unique and challenging art experiences to the public, Aggregate Space Gallery is proud to launch this celebration of non-commercial and experimental animation. Animation, as a subset within video art, is unique in its versatility as a communicative form and its ability to place viewers inside adjacent realities. It is a medium without rules or restrictions, and its content can address ideas as simple or as complex as the animator intends.
The exhibition will culminate in an award ceremony hosted by artist, animator, and Congratulations Pine Tree co-host, Kate Rhoades. We will be screening the top two films from each category, as well as a viewer’s choice award from each category. Viewer’s Choice categories will be rated by visitors to the gallery, so come by and judge these films by September 4 of Roxie! The event will also include a film by each of our exhibition jurors: Zeina Barakeh, Laneya Billingsley, Ryan D Lewis, Sarah Paulsen.
Featuring shorts by: Melanie Clemmons, Jacob Docksey, Celia Eid and Pierre-Stéphane Meugé, Tess Elliot, Amy Fang, Gwendolyn Foster, Erinn Hagerty and Adam Savje, Santiago Insignares, Lacey Johnson, Shon Kim, Carey Lin and Gabriel Gilder, Tess Martin, Kathleen Quillian, Fu Yang

ABOUT ASG:
ASG programming stands out because of our drive to provide emerging and mid-career artists with opportunities to take great risks and, in so doing, engage viewers in new and dramatic ways. ASG encourages bold projects of this kind, and then helps make them possible by enlisting the team’s technical knowledge in service of the artist’s vision. Each year since our launch in 2011, ASG has produced 5-6 solo exhibitions, 2-3 group exhibitions, and a number of special lectures, film screenings, literary events, and performances. We also provide a public platform for films, lectures, and performances by innovative regional artists and thinkers whose work ignites deeper engagement and discussion.
