(Click on the images to learn about each of the main characters.)Meet Stasha and her boyfriend Farell, teenagers who become caught in the violence of their urban neighborhood, and the Rythm Mastr, an elderly man who brings African sculpture to life through his use of traditional drumming.
For the Pages visual arts experience we will explore the artist Kerry James Marshall’s exhibition of Every Beat of My Heart, from the Rythm Mastr series. The story originally in the form of a comic narrative will come to life through contemporary sculpture and the traditional Japanese art form of Bunraku puppetry.

First off... I loved the exhibit!
It was very interesting to me the medians in which he chose to express his ideas...
a lot of the messages and language were very mature but in general puppetry and comics are more related to children and childhood past times.
Also, it seemed that a good portion of it was geared towards a youger crowd. The storyline encompassed a couple of young people, the language was comedic and easy to understand, and he used teens to perform the puppetry.
thanks for the experience!!!!
i really loved it!

I'm so glad to hear it Katie. I'm also happy to find you on the website. I can't wait to see how your narratives turn out. Do you have any ideas yet?

So, I was pretty bummed we didn't get to see the actual show! I really liked the idea of the puppetry. I was also really interested with the way he used the ancient history and fused it with the modern story line. I thin k there's so much we can still learn from history and the way he presented it was so interesting. I'm not in to comics but i really enjoyed the way he presented it.
Hi Emily,
It sounds as though you really want to see how the final product turned out. Unfortunately the public performance had limited seats and availability. However, you can come back to the Wexner Center during our open hours and see the full performance on our flatscreens just outside the galleries. Admission is free and you can check out our website www.wexarts.org for more info.--Dionne
