Gonzalez-Foerster works experimentally. Engaging with the exhibition as a medium, her spatial inventions and investigations probe the notion of display, as well as how an image or scene is experienced. Drawing on wide-ranging references from music, literature, film, architecture and pop culture, the artist creates densely layered environments with the ability to transport viewers into alternative narrative, temporal and psychological dimensions.Alienarium 5 is a speculative environment that invites us to imagine possible encounters with extraterrestrials. The catalogue is a culmination of her decades-long interest in science fiction and continued research into deep space and alien life. Conceived site-specifically for Serpentine, the exhibition will feature almost entirely new work that engages both the gallery's internal and external space.Ed.: Tatiana Kontou, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster.

There was just something special about the '80s when you're talking about movies,and even more so when you're talking about "genre" pictures. It's arguably the mostimportant era for horror and sci-fi, with a large chunk of the output of the decade helping todefine where their futures would lead.Sure, the '30s were essentially the birthplace of horror, what with the Universalmonsters rearing their heads.Sure, the '50s would explode the sci-fi boom with the fear of technological advancesand growing interest in space exploration.Sure, the '70s would legitimize horror by allowing auteurs to dare to infuse a level ofhigh art into their narratives and explore deeper themes.But, none of those could touch the '80s. The '80s Project is my effort to relive the experience of the timeframe in which the films that shaped my infatuation with horror andsci-fi flourished. I decided to make an effort to watch all of the horror and sci-fi filmsreleased in the decade, in order of when they were released.Now, for the sake of brevity, and let's face it, my sanity, i can't watch EVERYTHING. SoI had to create some ground rules for how this would all work. First off, i eliminated shortfilms. To get on the Project, it would have to be a feature length film. Secondly, i cast asidethe vast majority of TV movies, although I chose to include some. Third, i had to get rid ofsome of the international entries, mainly due to just being irrelevant through an Americanperspective, but also due to availability. In order to watch them and include them here, I hadto be able to find them, and let's face it, some of the more obscure Indonesian horror filmsaren't exactly at our fingertips. That being said, I didn't want to only stick to US theatricalreleases, since that would eliminate a large number of important films. So I developed a foolproof system. I included them if I felt like it. I mainly stuck to things that I felt were eitherimportant to horror/sci-fi cinema in general, or just to my own personal experiences ofnostalgia.This volume encompasses the releases of 1980 that fall under the category of horror orsci-fi, which in my opinion includes superhero films. Each film entry will give you somedetailed information about the film itself and the basic plot setup, although I've tried to keepspoilers or major plot twists out of it in order to preserve some mystery should you chooseto seek these out for yourselves. I'll also give you my personal rating on each one, based ona five star system. I feel like I'm a bit stingy with my ratings, and reserve 5 stars for films thati consider the best of the best. They're pretty few, and far between. I will also rate the filmbased on a Cultural Significance, which I realize is a bit of an arbitrary rating, but I'll evaluateeach film on how much of an impact it had on its specific genre. The interesting thing aboutthat consideration is that it generally doesn't reflect my personal opinion on it. It may havehad a massive impact on the film world, and yet not been a great film, or vice versa. Thefinal rating each film will get is a simple recommendation. Sort of a "too long, didn't read"and will sum up each one with a suggestion to watch it, don't watch it, or maybe watch it.There's definitely films out there that I believe SHOULD be watched, even if they don'tsound exactly like something that would be up one's alley, and also ones that I'm prettyconfident that most people will not enjoy whatsoever. But there's a certain contingency offilms that I know that some people will like, and others will not, so those will be the onesgiven the "maybes."

How to use design as a tool to create not only things but ideas, to speculate about possible futures.

This untold history collection chronicles the progression of the animation director role during the 1920s through the 1970s. For students of filmmaking and management, this book serves as go-to resource for a complex and sometimes technical role that demanded precision. For all Disney fans, these personal portraits of Walt’s closest creative leaders offer a fuller picture behind the stories, characters, and magical realms in Disney’s beloved and respected animated films.When the very first animated films appeared, there were no directors. With no actors, sets, costumes, or sound, what appeared onscreen was simply decided and drawn by an animator. Since early films were usually made by only one or two artists, there was little need for planning. Organization was loose. When Walt Disney started animating on shorts and advertising projects in Kansas City, Missouri, he followed that process, along with fellow artist and friend Ub Iwerks. Walt found that his strength was in story and character. He began writing outlines, describing what would appear scene by scene. Soon the text was accompanied by a sketch previsualizing the layout, giving all animators working on a film a clear vision of how their parts fit into the whole. Ultimately, Walt shepherded stories from their inception through every revision and gag. He approved every camera angle. He dictated what happened in every shot, sometimes every frame, obsessing over every detail. While not credited as such onscreen, Walt was the first Disney director.As the Disney studio grew, Walt organically evolved the role of director, reflecting the amount of trust he had in those he worked with, his interest in a specific project, and what other projects he had on his plate. Walt expected his directors to follow his instructions—and to improve the work at every turn. Directing at Disney: The Original Directors of Walt's Animated Films offers the little-known history behind Walt's foundational directors, such as Wilfred Jackson, Clyde Geronimi, and Dave Hand. These talents directed some of the most beloved films in existence—Snow White and Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio, Peter Pan, One Hundred and One Dalmatians—yet virtually no one has heard of them . . . until now.
