Interviews with Slam Artists

Posted on by hausofmarsian in Marsian De Lellis

From February 10th, 2012 – April 6th, 2013 I published a series of interviews with artists and curators from the Puppet Slam Network. 

The Puppet Slam Network ran for a decade from 2005-2016. It’s focus was on cataloguing, connecting, supporting, and generating awareness for evenings of short-form puppetry for adults.

  • "Some of the most memorable shows that we have presented were made by sculptors or visual artists who found their way to puppets as an extension of their art practice" - Vanessa Gilbert, Blood from a Turnip, Providence
  • "I think 'slam' is a great word to describe this: a puppet slam is a high-impact event." - Roxie Myhrum, Puppet Showplace Slam, Brookline
