Glenbow Museum Annual Report 2011–12 | 17 “Watch Me Move,” organized by the Barbican Art Gallery in London, made its only Canadian appearance at Calgary’s Glenbow Museum, and hooray for Glenbow. This entirely engaging exhibition, with a superlative section on hard-to-find early film, places contemporary artists like William Kentridge, Nathalie Djurberg, Jan Svankmajer and Julian Opie, who all work with animation, together with greatest hits from Disney and Pixar. This show … is a must-see for anyone who is interested in moving-image art. Nancy Tousley, Art Critic (source: Nancy Tousley’s Top 3, Canadian Art Weekly E-news, Dec. 22, 2011)
