In honor of the GIF’s 30th anniversary, GIPHY is launching a physical show featuring the work of 30 GIF artists called Time_Frame. 151 artworks and installations from well-known artists such as Lorna Mills, Faith Holland, Carla Gannis, Jelly Gummies, and Robert Beatty will be on view at Wallplay Gallery June 15–22.
As far as exhibitions go, a week is a pretty short time frame. But it looks like there will be as more panel panels, presentations, screenings, artist performances, and workshops during that time than you can shake a stick at, so that’s a positive. We have some concerns about the theme, though, as there’s barely one to speak of. The exhibition text promises to “showcase artists working in and pushing the boundaries of digital art”—so basically it’s a group of artists whose work the curators like.
To be fair, though, the artist list probably isn’t that different than one we’d assemble ourselves. It includes some of the most talented artists working in the field, and has been assembled by GIPHY Arts, Wallplay, Rhizome and Transfer”.
So, even without a theme, we’re excited to look at the show. A few samples of what’s in store below.
