Seems like Recipes for Disaster might also be a nice resource for a cross-section of contemporary techniques offered up by a range of artists: http://www.angoleiro.com/cine_texts/recipes_for_disaster_hill.pdf On Jan 16, 2013, at 3:37 PM, Stephanie Hutin wrote: Hello all, I am teaching a Contemporary Animation Practices class this semester for the first time.

Re: [Frameworks] contemporary animation texts
Hi Stephanie! Being a CalArts grad, I'm sure you know Maureen Furniss' THE ANIMATION BIBLE and also her READER IN ANIMATION STUDIES. These are definitely go-to classics, and I rarely teach ananimation class without assigning texts from those books. Robert Russett, co-author of EXPERIMENTAL ANIMATION with Cecile Starr, completed HYPERANIMATION: DIGITAL IMAGES AND VIRTUAL WORLDS in 2009. Chris Robinson, artistic director of the Ottawa International Animation Festival also has a few recent books:ANIMATORS UNEARTHED: A GUIDE TO THE BEST OF CONTEMPORARY ANIMATIONUNSUNG HEROES OF ANIMATION (co-written with Steve Reinke)JAPANESE ANIMATION: TIME OUT OF MINDESTONIAN ANIMATION: BETWEEN GENIUS AND ULTRA ILLITERACY Paul Wells, author of UNDERSTANDING ANIMATION, also put out another book fairly recently, RE-IMAGINING ANIMATION: THE CHANGING FACE OF THE MOVING IMAGE. You may also want to consider the catalogs from recent shows:WATCH ME MOVE (Barbican)STAN VANDERBEEK: THE CULTURE INTERCOM (MIT, Contemporary Arts Museum Houston)QUAY BROTHERS: ON DECIPHERING THE PHARMACIST'S PRESCRIPTION FOR LIP READING PUPPETS (MoMA) Here are a few neat books on individual animators written in the past ten years:PAUL SHARITS (Beauvais)OPTICAL POETRY: THE LIFE AND WORK OF OSKAR FISCHINGER (Moritz)THE CABINET OF JAN SVANKMAJER: THE PENDULUM, THE PIT, AND OTHER PECULIARITIES (Hartel, Blickle, Matte)ART THAT MOVES: THE WORK OF LEN LYE (Horrocks)(That said, FIGURES OF MOTION, an old collection of Lye's writings, is one of my favorite books of all time. It's out of print, but they have it at the CalArts library - maybe even at Pitzer, I'm not sure.) And, this isn't necessarily an animation-specific text... But, an article by Erika Balsom - Brakhage's Sour Grapes, or Notes on Experimental Cinema in the Art World - does a great jobsumming up many of the complications of experimental film/animation's straddling of the gallery and cinema worlds. If you clarify the focus of your class (production vs. studies or even certain artists you're interested in), I might be able to come up with more relevant texts for you. I would also bet real money that Marcin Gizycki, also on this list, has a huge bounty of suggestions. I hope this is helpful.

Re: [Frameworks] contemporary animation texts
Maureen Furniss was developing a book on animation, not sure if its available yet, but sounds good. Includes or is based, I believe on direct app. Animation. She also has several older animation books.
