For her first solo exhibition at Capitain Petzel, Monika Sosnowska has installed seven sculptural elements in metal, wood and glass in the empty gallery.

Philippe Parreno "The Puppet Show", Fry Art Museum – May 16 - September 13, 2009
The Puppet Show is a group exhibition that explores the imagery of puppets in contemporary art.

Consisting of sculpture, video, and photography, the artwork included in The Puppet Show investigates key themes associated with puppetry, including manipulation, miniaturization, and control. The exhibition demonstrates that in contemporary art, as in Western culture at large, the puppet acts as a psychological surrogate, social and political commentator, and entertaining performer.
