Sequelae by Hallie Bahn continues previous work with a new perspective. Right before her initially scheduled exhibition last year, Bahn was in a serious car crash, leading to extensive physical injuries and a still-in-process rehabilitation. Sequelae is a reflection of the before and after of this life-altering experience.
Bahn uses miniature tableaus and projected animation to construct narrative sculptures in which her autobiographical subjects search for agency within newly discovered scripts of rehabilitation, perverting, adopting, and exaggerating expected behavior to gain ownership over their actions.
Hallie Bahn is an interdisciplinary artist and educator in non-traditional and expanded animation. Her practice uses sculpture, stop motion, and digital 2D animation to dissolve the traditional boundaries of screen-based digital animation and create interactive, physical relationships between the art and the viewer. Bahn’s work has been exhibited and screened nationally and internationally, including at the Weisman Art Museum in Minneapolis, Minneapolis Institute of Art, Public Functionary in Minneapolis, Marinaro Gallery in New York, Center for Mediterranean Architecture in Chania, Greece, and the Museo Memoria y Tolerancia in Mexico City, Mexico. In 2020, she was a grant recipient of the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council’s Next Step Fund. Bahn is currently based in Western Massachusetts, where she is the Assistant Professor of Animation at UMass Amherst.
