I found it really interesting to find exhibitions put together based on puppets. I think this shows how this form of art is taken seriously and isn't so simple and unappreciated.
"The works range from a 1974 sculpture installation by American artist Dennis Oppenheim to a new animation by the Swedish artist Nathalie Djurberg. Some of the works involve actual puppets (marionettes, shadow puppets, hand puppets) and artists performing as puppeteers. Other images evoke topics associated with puppetry (manipulation, miniaturization, agency, control). Collectively these works show puppets to be a provocative and relevant imagery—one that moves deep into social, political and psychological terrains."
