Screen – Tribune – Theater

Erin Roberts
McLain Clutter
Influenced by Gustav Klutsis’s 1922 constructivist agit-propaganda stands, Screen-Tribune-Theater works both formally and programmatically to build a collective consciousness by exposing various types of information across construction and media. Formal manipulations and translations of an original composition are indexed through material exposures and structural indicators. As the forms of the auditoriums are pulled apart, so too are key aspects of the films and crowds they host. Visuals, audio, conversations, and movements from within the theaters bleed or seep into the circulation spaces between them through openings, thicknesses, glass, and lighting to reveal shadows of cinema to those who pass through.
