Momentary Momentum @ Parasol Unit

Hoxton-based contemporary-art space Parasol Unit presents this look at animation, exploring the impact of motion and movement on drawings and paintings with installations and video loops by 21 artists from across the globe. Works on show range from the colourful psychedelic stylings of French collective Qubo Gas and the charcoal sketches of South African artist William Kentridge to the wonderful musings of Glasgow-based illustrator David Shrigley — whose quirky, skewed visions of the trials of modern life are recognisable from many a greeting card.
