PIXAR AT MOMA

Sweet! And perfect timing as I'll be in NY this weekend!

The Museum of Modern Art in New York has a new exhibition this week called Pixar: 20 Years of Animation.

Featuring over 500 works of original art on loan for the first time from Pixar Animation Studios, the show includes paintings, concept art, sculptures, and an array of digital installations. The exhibition also includes a complete retrospective of Pixar films. Demonstrating the symbiotic relationship between traditional and digital media pioneered by the studio over its twenty-year history.

The curator of the show said, "We wanted to make sure that people understood that computer animation wasn't created by pushing a button. The preparation work is done with traditional pencil and paper just like animation has always been done."

The show will run through February 6, 2006. More here.
