Momentum, Krupa Art Foundation

Originally conceived of as something to be voyeuristically peeped at through a peephole, Birgitta Hosea’s Holes has been re-engineered for the exhibition Momentum in the immersive space at Krupa Art Foundation, Wroclaw, Poland.

It has become a new experience, from something interior and hidden that you peep at through a small opening into another world, it has become exterior – a whole audiovisual world that you can walk into.

The artist said, ‘I really enjoyed how visitors explored the experience with their whole bodies and entered into the world of my film’.

The film was wrapped around three walls and the floor of the space.

Cycles and Sequences, James Hockey Gallery

What is the cutting edge of animation? In July 2025, staff and PhD researchers from the Animation Research Centre at UCA came together to present Cycles and Sequences: Research Currents in Animation with interdisciplinary works of expanded animation that span the disciplines of animation, games, photography, design, illustration and music. Alongside installation, sequential drawings, animated documentary, experimental CGI, AI, animation machines and live 16mm performances were items from UCA’s animation archives.

Curated by Vicky Smith, Cycles and Sequences featured more than twenty different artworks on display in the James Hockey Gallery in Farnham along with a number of entirely new collaborations in expanded animation. 

Artists: Will Bishop-Stephens, Jordan Buckner, Jingyue Chang, Hattie Croucher, John Dargan, Vesi Dashinova, Jamie Dobson, Stephen Featherstone, Miriam Fox, Griffin Gu, Nicky Hamlyn, Max Hattler, Birgitta Hosea, Ciara Kerr, Belle Mellor, Martin Pickles, Vicky Smith, Emmanuelle Waeckerle.

The events included live performances and a discussion panel on contemporary animation research featuring Will Bishop-Stephens, Max Hattler, Birgitta Hosea, Irene Kotlarz, Martin Pickles and Vicky Smith.
