An Evening in Retrospect: A Screening of The Work From Artist Rose Bond

We'd like to congratulate Rose Bond, lead of PNCA's Animated Arts program and Foundations instructor, on her upcoming retrospective screening at the NW Film Center on December 7, 2018 at 7:00pm at the Portland Art Museum's Whitsell Auditorium. An early reception will begin at 6:00pm. Tickets can be acquired here.

Bond has been internationally recognized for her monumental, content driven animated installations. Rear projected in multiple windows, her themes are often drawn from the site — existing at the juncture of memory, architecture and public/private space. Her installations have illuminated urban spaces in Portland (2014), Zagreb (2013), Toronto (2011), Exeter UK (2010), Utrecht Netherlands (2008), New York City (2004), and Portland (2002, 2007). Bond’s direct animation films have been presented at major international festivals including: Annecy, Ottawa, Hiroshima, Sundance, New York and are held in the MoMA Film Collection.

Awarded an Oregon Media Arts Fellowship in 2016, Bond premiered a new multi-channel animated projection for the Oregon Symphony’s performance of Olivier Messiaen’s Turangalilla in December 2016. She received her MFA in Experimental Filmmaking from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago on a Princess Grace Film Graduate Scholarship. Canadian-born, Bond is based in Portland Oregon and leads Animated Arts at Pacific Northwest College of Art. To learn more about Rose Bond and her work, please visit her website.
