Hubbard/Birchler Exhibition
Tanya Bonakdar Gallery
This event has ended.
Tanya Bonakdar Gallery presents Teresa Hubbard/Alexander Birchler's fourth solo exhibition at the gallery, featuring the premiere of a new video installation entitled "Méliès." The work explores the residue of cinema and social terrain around the site of a mountain in the Chihuahua Desert in West Texas named Movie Mountain. According to local residents, this mountain near the border town of Sierra Blanca is named Movie Mountain because a silent film was shot there in the early 1900s. Searching for the origin of the mountain's name, the artists embarked on a journey traversing the landscape of early silent-era film production.
