“Alongside Sweaty Eyeballs’ 14th year as Baltimore’s premier animation festival, Sweaty Everything asks us to think of animation as a perspective rather than a medium. When looking at the world, we have an instinct to imagine its life: the ways in which the beings in it interact and move. A narrative emerges, a history. As animators, we see ourselves and our point of view reflected in other artforms. We push upon the walls of our medium, inviting others to expand our realm of possibility. There’s human behavior that connects all of this—sequence, story keeping, embodiment.”

—Curatorial words by MD Vazhappilly, Emily Kobert, Wylder Voegele, and Nadia Nazar of Animation Love Affair

Read a review of our recent exhibition SOFT WATER on the Whitehot Magazine, with words by Rui Jiang Rui

Noah Becker’s Whitehot Magazine of Contemporary Art LLC

“This exhibition is a metamorphic reshaping of the draught that flows through the hall with water and flesh; it is the inescapable retreat of subtle political metaphor; it is the one in the midst of the water, gathering firewood for the multitude—is it agility, or, compassion?”
