PUPPETRING
This UNIMA-supported online magazine has a steady flow of new articles about international puppetry in its three distinct language editions (English, French and Spanish). Sadly articles aren't automatically translated into all three languages and monophones do miss out on easy access to a lot of interesting articles, but two new articles in English have been published in recent days.
First there’s news of the unclassifiable Peruvian artist and puppeteer ETY FEFER’s upcoming installation at the Museum of Sex in New York, Yes. Bizarre, fun, perverted, naïve, grotesque, sordid and charming — the automated “Grumildos” occupy an unparalleled universe, a world of creative expression free from moral judgments. http://www.puppetring.com/2014/09/23/grumildos-at-museum-of-sex-in-new-york/
“Part kinetic theater, part art installation and part puppet performance” Gruildos will be at the Museum of Sex, New York, from 25th September 2014 to 25th January 2015. http://museum.museumofsex.com/exhibitions/grumildos/
The second article is REBECCA SIMPSON’S review on this summer’s LOOP FAIR, the annual video art fair held in Barcelona. Featured artists included WILLIAM KENTRIDGE and KARA WALKER. There’s much of interest in this article including links to film clips and artist interviews. This is part one of what will be a 2-part report.
