ICYMI: Zoom Rockman's Jewish Hall Of Fame As A Comic Book Gallery jw3 zoomrockman The_ZoomComic jw3london richjohnston baddiel stephenfry Lord_Sugar maureenlipman danieljrad ClaudiaWinkle Nigella_Lawson AlexScott SachaBaronCohen neilhimself
is an arts, culture and entertainment venue, an educational facility and a social and community hub in north London, celebrating its tenth year of opening and describing itself as"a new postcode for Jewish life", the name JW3 is a wordplay on its London postal code area, NW3. And it's that sense of humour which is very much on display in this context.
But what this means, what excited me most about this show, is that this can be a communal activity. Rather than walking around an art show, you can attend with friends and make the whole event entertaining in its own right. Can your handle-turning match the voice movements to the audio? Who can puppetthe best . It brings all the fun of the fair to an art exhibition, and the summer beach that JW3 regularly install in June and July will fit the vibe even more.
But there's more than just play here. It is a common anti-semitic trope that has Jewish figures as puppeteers of the world,. Here, in this exhibition however, it is the Jewish people who are being puppeted by the audience. But they retain some agency, in that the voice is that of the actual person being caricatured and cartooned, who have willingly taken part in this exhibition.
Most you'll know, some you might not, but I could see this one staring at me from the outside of the gallery.
