The Great Adventure of Material World New York Performances

Now showing at Moving Image Exhibitions in New York City, *The Great Adventure of Material World* is presented as a live exhibition event that traces how artists give physical form to moving-image ideas. The program brings together work and influence associated with Jim Henson, Yuri Norstein, Lu Yang, and Todd Haynes, moving between handcrafted illusion, animation, digital bodies, and cinematic montage. In a city where screen culture is usually consumed at speed, the exhibition slows the frame down and asks viewers to look at process. Its most pointed gesture is treating “material” not as a theme but as an argument about authorship and labor.
