Ends Aug 31, 2025
Presented by Los Angeles Nomadic Division (LAND), koin us for the debut of 2025 Mohn LAND grant recipient Hannah Huntley’s Sea Fauna Follies at the Bob Baker Marionette Theater in Highland Park. See new work and experience a short performance by Huntley. This collaboration marks the first between the historic Los Angeles organization and a contemporary artist. Huntley’s Sea Fauna Follies is a sculptural installation that manifests an idealized, fantastical underwater utopia where symbiotic relationships between sea creatures reflect the profound need for communal dynamics. The project highlights how organisms of diverse abilities, strengths, and advantages collaborate—not for mere survival, but to revel in collective joy, beauty, pleasure, and expression. Consisting of three kinetic mobiles and a central static element on display within the historic Bob Baker Marionette Theater, Sea Fauna Follies was created using 3D modeling software and then executed using 3D printing, a medium that allowed the production process to be as accessible to the artist as possible. Sea Fauna Follies will be on view at the theater from July 13 through August 31, 2025. The installation can be viewed during all Bob Baker Marionette Theater performances. Additional viewings are available Tuesday - Friday from 10AM-4PM, by appointment at https://www.nomadicdivision.org/projects-and-programs/sea-fauna-follies
