Self-portrait of Bill Joyce at Artspace / photo Talbot
A January New Yorker profile of Japanese movie designer Hayao Miyazaki (1-17-05) reveals a thematic similarity between the Art of Robots show and the Ghibli Museum, Tokyo, which houses Miyazaki's considerable work (Spirited Away, My Neighbor Tototro, Kiki's Delivery Service, etc.).
In the Ghibli exhibit called Where a Film Begins, the scene is a boy's room. It is filled with books, models and a glass jar of colored pencils. Miyazaki wrote in the musuem's catalogue, says writer Margaret Talbot, that "imagination and premonition can become the core of a film."
As you view the sketches in the Art of Robots you will be able to judge the affinity between artists Miyazaki and Bill Joyce.
