Alex Kahn
Alex Kahn (b. 9 April 1967) is an American visual and performance artist, best known for his creation of the large-scale puppet performance works that lead New York's Village Halloween Parade each year.
==Pageant Puppetry and Processional Art==
Since 1998, Kahn and his partner, Sophia Michahelles, have worked together under the name Superior Concept Monsters, conceiving, designing, and directing 10 commissioned works for the Halloween Parade. These works are often developed through open community workshops that bring hundreds of volunteers together to build, rehearse, and ultimately perform cyclical pieces specifically for the parade. The performances typically incorporate elements of puppetry, sound, dance, costume/mask, lighting/projection and mobile architecture, an amalgam of mediums Kahn calls “processional art.”
In addition to leading New York's Village Halloween Parade each year, Kahn’s creations have appeared in venues nationally and internationally. His work, Metamorphosis, involving 20’ tall pupating luna moths, officially opened the 2000 Henson International Festival of Puppet Theatre. In 2002, he and Michahelles initiated a midsummer pageant project in the Italian Alps village of Morinesio, drawing on local folklore and oral history to create a unique site-specific pageant. Inspired by the success of the now-annual tradition, they have seeded similar projects in diverse locales in Italy, Texas, Maine, Oregon, New York, and Michigan. In 2006, Kahn was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to Trinidad and Tobago, to study the artistic and cultural structures behind Caribbean Carnival and Trinidadian “Mas’”, or costumed procession.
