EDUCATION ENDOWMENT AUCTION 2 I Love You When You’re Breathing features a verbose puppet, with a sharp sense of humour, who vividly explores the nature of puppets, their makers, critics, and the illusion of life they evoke in performance. It is based on an academic treatise written by Basil Jones, founder of the Handspring Puppet Company. HANDSPRING PUPPET COMPANY SPECIAL PRE-AUCTION PERFORMANCE 19 August 7.00 – 7.30 pm, at Absa Gallery Artist Proof Studio has been honoured to collaborate with the remarkable initiators of the Handspring Puppet company, Adrian Kohler and Basil Jones in their creation of some extraordinary new prints. In celebration of this exchange, we will be hosting a special exhibition of four of the original puppets and their life-size linocut portraits by Adrian Kohler, as well as the short performance I love you when you are breathing , to open the live auction.
