KRAZY! Opening at the Vancouver Art Gallery

KRAZY! The Delirious World of Anime + Comics + Video Games + Art
Breaks New Ground in Visual Culture at the Vancouver Art Gallery

For the first time, the Vancouver Art Gallery will bring the worlds of anime, comics, cartoons, video games, manga, graphic novels and contemporary art together in one exhibition. Offering an innovative and dynamic survey, KRAZY! reveals the uniqueness of each medium, while uncovering their histories, interrelations and future trajectories.

One of the largest exhibitions ever organized by the Gallery, KRAZY! will occupy two entire floors of gallery space and is designed in collaboration with Tokyo-based architectural firm Atelier Bow-Wow. Divided into seven sections defined by medium, the exhibition takes viewers through ever-changing gallery environments, which include a multi-screen theatre for viewing animated cartoons and anime, immersive video spaces and innovative reading environments for visitors to experience a deluge of manga, graphic novels and comics.

Built to ensure visitors are exposed to the full breath of the media, the exhibition comprises more than 600 artworks, including original sketches, concept drawings, sketchbooks, storyboards, production drawings, films, video games, animation cels, three dimensional models, sculptures, books, manga and much more.
