Andrew Mania: Moving Stills

Andrew Mania is an artist who lives and works in Bristol and has exhibited at Milton Keynes Gallery, Vilma Gold Gallery, London, Jerwood Gallery, London as was included in New Contemporaries in 2000. Mania is like a collector of curiosities, or a cultural vagrant. The artist sometimes recycles found images like old master drawings or photographs and then adds his own obsessions or dialogues such as Yeti’s, UFOs or birdlike swarms. The artist has now completed his first moving image project that was supported through the Small Wonders Scheme.

Moving Stills is a collection of short videos featuring a series of urban and rural scenes that explore perception, composition and movement. The works Reception, Return and Junge Frau enliven or re-contextualise illustrations and paintings whilst Apple Tree, Yellow, Mute, Glint and Space Man incorporate figures and objects to challenge viewers spatial and temporal expectations.

Gasworks, London are screening Reception in the exhibition the music of the future.
