Oakland Museum of California Presents 'Pixar: 25 Years of Animation'
The Oakland Museum of California (OMCA) will present "PIXAR: 25 Years of
Animation," a major exhibition of over 500 works by the artists at Pixar
Animation Studios, including drawings, paintings, and sculptures that
illustrate the creative process and craftsmanship behind Pixar's wildly
successful computer-animated films. This will be a significantly enhanced
presentation of the exhibition, which is returning home to Oakland after a
successful worldwide tour that began at the Museum of Modern Art in New
York in 2005. A number of significant works will be on public display for
the first time, including art from Ratatouille, WALL*E, Up, and Pixar's
latest feature film, Toy Story 3. PIXAR will also include an updated,
awe-inspiring version of the Pixar Artscape, a widescreen media
installation, and the Pixar Zoetrope, a three-dimensional device that
displays a rapid succession of images, creating the illusion of motion.
The exhibition will be accompanied by screenings of Pixar's feature and
short films; a special program of lectures, talks and workshops with Pixar
artists; and a new and expanded exhibition catalogue.
"The Bay Area, has emerged as the global center for animation today,
making OMCA an ideal venue for this comprehensive exhibition of Pixar's
achievements," said Lori Fogarty, Executive Director of the Oakland Museum
of California. "This Museum's mission is to connect communities to the
natural and cultural heritage of California, and we believe that Pixar is
in many ways a quintessential California enterprise. Not only does Pixar
carry on the extraordinary legacy of animation in California-and
particularly the pioneering creativity of the Walt Disney Studios-but it
represents the dynamic marriage of art and technology that is a hallmark
of California innovation."
