New York City-based visual artist Saya Woolfalk will digitize and
animate a series of her drawings and produce a sound component to create a
ten-minute animation called The Land of the Pleasure Machines. Described as a
fictional future constructed for the investigation of human possibilities and
impossibilities, this new animation will be presented at the Studio Museum in Harlem
in November 2009. Saya Woolfalk is a graduate of the School of the Art Institute of
Chicago and participated in the Whitney Independent Study Program. She has exhibited
at the Bronx Museum, the Moti Hasson Gallery (NYC), P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center
and others.
