Performance Process presents the intense imagination and artistry of Brad Brackenridge, Artspace’s 2021 Artist-in-Residence. Providing a glimpse into the creation of puppets and puppetry, Brackenridge offers the inner workings of his methods and busy studio. His artistic process starts with character building, the forms of which materialize into captivating, stand-alone works of art. By way of movement, manipulation, imagination, and story-telling savvy, Brackenridge breathes life into sculptural objects as performance subjects.
