Film Screenings at the Carriage Factory Museum
Faucet Media Arts Centre & Struts Gallery are pleased to present the final installment of Sites for Seeing: Out of the Cineplex and Into the Marshland -- the last two in a series of four outdoor experimental film screenings in the Tantramar marshes.
This month heralds programs by Mike Hoolboom from Toronto, and Solomon Nagler from Halifax. Friday, September 17, Mike Hoolboom will present Fear of Flying: Beauty and Power and on September 18, Solomon Nagler will present Blissful Discretion. Both of these screenings will take place at the Campbell Carriage Factory Museum, 19 Church Street, with a reception at 7:30 pm, an artist talk at 8pm, and the screening itself will start after sunset at 8:30pm. This is a free event.
For people looking for rides: drives out to the Carriage Factory will be leaving Struts Gallery, 7 Lorne Street, at 7pm each night.
These screenings provide an exciting opportunity to see unique experimental film and video work outside of the institutional walls of the gallery. This opens the project up to wider New Brunswick audiences who might not normally cross the threshold of artist run centres. It also removes the work from the realm of normal expectations and places it into an environment where anything is possible.
