Detroit starts the year off by presenting the first recurring .gif group exhibition, The First Annual Detroit .gif Group Show. Gif is an abbreviation for Graphics Interchange Format which is a type of file that has been used for static pictures and simple animations since the late 80s.
The exhibition's starting point is our fascination with the gif's clear frames and inclusive availability. The First Annual Detroit .gif Group Show is an internet based international exhibition where the invitation to participate has been spread through forums, mailing lists and art schools. In the 2009 edition the chosen gifs come from Sweden, Great Britain, Germany, Denmark, Finland, USA, France and Austria.
Participating artists:
Finn Öhlund, John Huntington, Katya Sandomirskaya, Arvid Wretman, Joe Milazzo, Karl Kilian, Vanessa Louzon, Saleh Rozati, Cristoph Meier, Albért Bernàrd, Liesl Raff, Rasmus Svensson, Amandine Alessandra, Frank Höhne, Lukas Hoffmann, Tobias Lund, Monja Gentschow, Arvid Hedin & Pascal Mayet, Ben Mulkey, Rainbow Dropshadow, Erika Ratvay.
