Co Prosperity is thrilled to present Potential Energy: The Co-Pro Puppet Show. Please join our opening reception and Puppets in Progress program on December 9th from 3:00 PM – 9:00 PM.

Chicago is home to a rich and growing ecology of puppet artists whose work bridges disciplines and communities of makers. This sampling of works by local artists is intended to challenge expectations about puppetry and inspire makers from all disciplines. Take the rare chance to look closely at sculptural works usually only seen in motion at a distance. Celebrate material and formal invention, trace networks of collaboration, and discover some of the exciting questions and possibilities that are animating puppet art today.

Exhibiting Artists: Alonso Galue, Christopher Knowlton, Eda Yorulmazoglu, Jacky Kelsey + August Boyne, Jacqueline Wade, Jaerin Son, Jerrell Henderson + Caitlin McLeod, KT Shivak, Manual Cinema, Mike Oleon, Myra Su, Pablo Monterrubio, Tom Lee, Wonder Wagon

Curated by Will Bishop + Grace Needlman
