Summary
The art of Andy Hope 1930 is based on all kinds of media: painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, photo, film, words and sound. The artist plays with heroes, ideas, visions and "stages" that are common in comic strip, science fiction, and fantasy, combining these sources with signs typical for modern art. The exhibitions of Andy Hope are always very complex, rich and inventive, but in his contribution for La Biennale di Venezia 2017 he, for the first time, shows a long movie, written, directed, and performed by himself. The catalogue is designed and produced like a typical comic strip magazine, showing in Vol. 1 collages and drawings, that are representative for Andy Hope in general: superheroes and strange inventions of his own mixed in bizarre way with legendary outsiders or ideas about the future. Vol. 2 is presenting preparatory sketches and film stills of the 40 minutes movie, that the artist has written and directed for his installation at the Biennale. The movie follows an alien character, Fren Athens, who arrives on earth and tries to understand human life. It was shot 2016 in California. Exhibition: Biennale Arte 2017, Giardini Arsenale, Venezia, Italy (13.05.-26.11.2017).
