Puppetshow "Superclogger" panel discussion

Oct 02, 2010

Taking place in the ubiquitous congestion of the Los Angeles freeways, Los Angeles-based artist Joel Kyack's mobile puppet show Superclogger has been delighting stressed commuters all summer. Performed out of the back of his pick-up truck for unsuspecting drivers, this project unveils the temporary communities and specific urban conditions affecting Angelenos every day. In this panel, the artist Joel Kyack discusses with arts writer Andrew Berardini and LAXART Curator of Public Art and Programs, Cesar Garcia, the complexities of Superclogger's production, the specificity of its audience, and how its meaning has morphed across a multiplicity of new media outlets and individual documentation.
