Three Tail Tales New York Performances

“Three Tail Tales” is presented as a live exhibition event at Moving Image Exhibitions, situating animated and filmed work within a museum setting rather than a screening room. The program draws a line across distinct practices, from Jim Henson’s material puppetry to Yuri Norstein’s handmade animation, alongside Lu Yang’s digitally built performance worlds and Todd Haynes’s essay-like approach to image and memory. In New York, where these artists have long circulated through festivals and galleries, the grouping reads like a compact history of how moving images borrow from theater, fine art, and popular culture. Its critical point is simple: technique is not decoration here, but the subject.
