momentary momentum

That's the title of the exhibition in parasol unit.
On display there were the works of 20 artists,
I liked most the work of Francis Alys, 'Time is a trick of the mind'

Andiane Searle describes the work : 'A plainly drawn man walks beside some ornamental park railings, dragging a stick over the iron struts. Ker-thrrrrung! It is a satisfying sound. It makes you want to hear it again, and to go and do it yourself somewhere. Time Is a Trick of the Mind is an animation by Francis Alys, based on the artist's spare and - elegantly tentative drawings. The double projection appears low on the gallery wall. Two identical men, two identical sets of railings. But somehow, time is out of joint; Alys's loping walkers, like Felix the Cat in the old cartoon movies, just keep walking, walking, walking, never getting to the end of the railings, and fall slowly out of step with one another. I could watch it all day.'

I like the way it is simple drawn like an architectural graph precise and clear and that at the same time it is an image of a gesture of our childhood, a thoughtless but also meaningful act
for me is like a protest against our serious synchronized and unnatural adult lives

I also liked William Kentridge's animation

It also worths looking at Zilla Leutenegger
www.zilla.ch/worklist_2006.html
although aesthetically her work doesn't appeal to me, the way she incorporates static drawings on the wall with videos running on top is interestingly daring

That is also what Avish Khebrehzadeh is doing but although her drawings are sensitively drawn I don't find any justification in the outcome for combining drawings below the video projection

Cristine Rebet's work was nice but I didn't understand what she wanted to say with this nice animation

David Shrigley's was clever but too cruel, pessimistic and depressive for my taste

Robert Breer's was a very nice political animation made by collage
but the only thing that I found by him, in the web,is the following:
