Story Tellers: Puppets by Artists
Cavin Morris Gallery, New York

529 W 20th Street, 3rd Floor, NY 10011

(January 22 - March 26, 2022)

STORY TELLERS: Puppets by Artists was inspired by photographs of a collection of wonderful hand puppets made by Paul Klee for his family. Puppets take us back to a passionate period in our childhood when they were everything: the mediators between worlds, the tellers of stories that did not have to be logical or linear, the incarnations of tribal and cultural myths from the global human unconscious. As children, we were obsessed with the performance of Davey Jones Locker with the incredibly beautiful Bill Baird puppets when it premiered at Town Hall in New York, Baird created an entire underwater alternate universe. Those puppets were as magical and mysterious to us as the dioramas at the Museum of Natural History. They were literally ‘Hands On’.
