About The Jim Henson Exhibition
At Moving Image Exhibitions in New York City, “The Jim Henson Exhibition” traces Henson’s work across television, film, and performance, placing craft and process at the center. The presentation sits within the city’s long relationship to American media production, where puppetry and screen arts share a common workshop logic. Alongside Henson, names like Yuri Norstein, Lu Yang, and Todd Haynes register as points of reference for how animation and cinema continue to borrow from handmade image-making. One clear takeaway is how rigor, not whimsy, sustains the illusion.
