One day of mourning David Bowie is not enough. His music and performances are too important to let him go. As such, I’ve downloaded as many GIFs as possible from the animated GIF show Lorna Mills curated for the Art Gallery of Ontario’s 2013 “David Bowie is” exhibition . The exhibition included over 15 artists from countries all around the world.(Rea McNamara discussed her GIFs for the show yesterday.) Some of the GIFs, now, look oddly prescient.
Sadly, we never reviewed the GIF show—it was up for one night only—but we did get to see the traveling exhibition. We weren’t happy with it.
“David Bowie is,” GIF Installation: Alex McLeod, Claudia Maté, Lorna Mills, Rea McNamara w/Isabella Brathwaite, Georges Jacotey, Dafna Ganani, Gaby Cepeda, Anthony Antonellis, Sarah Weis, Yoshi Sodeoka, Andrew Benson, Rodell Warner, Luc Hyo Myoung Kim, Mattie Hillock, Max Capacity, Eva Papamargariti, Sep 25 – Nov 27, Art Gallery of Ontario, Canada

Titled “Blossom”, this GIF by Giselle Zatonyl shows crystalline-like blossom wrapped in a rotating polygon. The shape hovers just above the fast moving clouds. The GIF is part of AFC’s 10 Anniversary Benefit GIF collection, which is nothing short of incredible.
