Get ready for a fantastic exhibition of the work and films of Tim Burton.
ACMI in Melbourne is exhibiting Tim Burton’s wonderful work curated by MOMA in New York, in direct collaboration with Tim Burton. The ACMI announcement reads: “An Australian exclusive, Tim Burton: The Exhibition is a landmark exhibition charting Tim Burton’s creative vision and process from his earliest work to the spectacular Alice in Wonderland”.
Beginning his career as an animator, production design has always been a strong aspect to Burton’s storytelling. Burton has worked with great production designers such as Anton Furst, Bo Welch, Dennis Gassner, Alex McDowell, Dante Ferretti, Wyn Thomas and most recently Robert Stromberg and he mainly works with costume designer Colleen Atwood. Although Burton has always worked with many different designers specifically talented in supporting each particular project, his visual storytelling is so strong that his own visual stamp gives a consistency to his films.
There have been two events with Tim Burton in Melbourne during June. Following on are screenings and discussions as well as submissions for an online gallery featuring Burton inspired artwork. Burton himself will select his fav ten. Check it out on Flicker : Burton Wonderland Gallery
More updates after seeing the exhibition! TIM BURTON : The Exhibition runs from June 24 2010 to October 10 2010
