Potential Energy
Exhibition Graphics, Flyer & Digital Ad, 2024
with Oscar Solis & Layne Thue-Bludworth
Chicago is home to a rich and growing ecology of puppet artists whose work bridges disciplines and communities of makers. Potential Energy’s 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.
Exhibition graphics, wall text, titles, translations, flyers and a social media post for Potential Energy curated by Grace Needlman and Will Bishop at the Chicago Cultural Center. Our approach was to lean into puppetry, specifically the silhouettes of shadow puppets, for expressive wall text that was simultaneously thoughtful and playful like the artwork in the connecting galleries.
