VAST/O Exhibition: comics, animation, health & installation

About Us

The VAST/O exhibition will be held in the Atrium Gallery, Poole House, throughout the whole of July 2019.
Curated by Carolina Martins, Natalie Woolf and Alexandra Alberda.

VAST/O is a exhibition of comics, installation, and animation exploring spatial anxieties. With a variety of free events, VAST/O aims to be an exhibition that generates the sensations of paradoxical spatial experiences by combining actual and animated spaces, through static and moving images. The use of comics panels in relation with a specific architectural space and the use of animation not only in its traditional channels, but also by means of augmented reality apps for interaction between viewers and spaces, will provide narrative layers that enhance the engagement of the experience.

This is also a part of Alexandra's research project, so exhibition guests also have the option to share their stories of experiencing the exhibition for research in a short one-on-one interview. This feedback will be used in her PhD thesis as well as by Carolina in influencing the final exhibition in Portugal at the end of this year. If you would like to participate please contact Alexandra at: aalberda@bournemouth.ac.uk for more information.

A variety of free events will be taking place throughout the month - visit the Eventbrite page to book your space.
