I love watching cartoons, be it Wile E. Coyote falling off a cliff after another one of his trusty A.C.M.E products have gone wrong, or Goofy trying to put his trousers on while wearing a pair of skis. Whatever cartoon it is, you can be sure the characters will defy the laws of physics. As Daffy Duck says while he's being stretched and contorted by Bugs Bunny in a Space Jam: 'No sweat, this is Looney Tune Land.'


Yep, in the world of cartoons you can do just about anything, and that is what Andy Holden has tried to achieve in his latest exhibition, .

Launching on the 5th December at 6pm-8.30pm at the Stanley Picker Gallery at Kingston University, the exhibition, which lasts until the 2nd February reworks the laws of our physical universe just like in the world of cartoons.

explores the internal logic of cartoons through research and visual displays. The artworks include models made of clay and plaster, collages knitted textiles, and the use of sound.

During the exhibit, there will be a public lecture on the 31st January. It will start at 8pm and be held at Swedenborg House, London, WC1. To book a place call 020 8417 4074.

For the event at Swedenborg House, Holden has produced limited-edition silk-screened posters, which you can buy at the Stanley Picker Gallery.
