Digitally restored by Pentimenti Productions, Suzanne Simpson's "Karl Wirsum" is a little-known 1973 film that peeks into the sun-dappled California studio of a young artist as he embarks on an extraordinary career. Wirsum's psychedelic marionette sculptures still dazzle today, while his narration and a mind-bending soundtrack draw viewers into his process and personality. Part of "4 Films by Suzanne Simpson," a whimsical quartet of archival films that captures artists flourishing amidst the 1970s Bay Area art scene, when Funk art was thriving.

The only thing different is that due to the digital era, Runway is not a print magazine anymore, but one that is running online.
