From July 6 to September 23, 2012 "Proto Anime Cut. Visions and spaces in the Japanese animation", curated by Stefan and David d'Heilly Riekeles is a unique opportunity to understand the process of artistic creation and enjoy the "preparatory drawings". The works, which are shown for the first time in Spain, (before was exhibit in Dortmund, Germany) are sketches and drawings that provide a close view into the scenes of anime production and how their universes are created.
In analogy with traditional film production, most of the exhibited works would be part of what is known as production design, "sekai-kan" in Japanese, that is, the invention of the universe where the director wants to set his film. This initial phase of creating stages is what is exposed along the exhibition, character and background drawings of fictional spaces, focusing on the vision of the city and its distorsions. Artists such as Hideaki Anno, Haruhiko Higami, Koji Morimoto, Hiromasa Ogura, Mamoru Oshii and Takashi Watabe exhibit their new works based on the real-kei, a science fiction anime based on the construction of alternative worlds and realistic portrait of futuristic cities and landscapes. All of them are part of a generation, in which the anime was drawn almost exclusively by hand.
Venue: La Casa Encendida. Ronda Valencia, 2. 28012 Madrid. Spain.
Dates: From July 6 to September 23, 2012
