"Tinworks Art, an enterprise that garnered attention last year with an ambitious resurrection of Agnes Denes's storied Wheatfileld Land art work in Bozeman, Montana, is making its next move with a newly acquired historic theater to be inaugurated with screenings of Matthew Barney's 2018 film Redoubt. The program begins Friday at the Rialto theater on Bozeman's picturesque Main Street and continues, with two showings a day Thursdays through Sundays, through February 1."
"Built in 1908 as a post office and transformed into a theater in 1924, the Rialto was donated to Tinworks and joins the organization's two-acre complex of former warehouse space and agricultural buildings nearby. Those have been the site of exhibitions featuring such artists as Stephen Shore, Lucy Raven, Layli Long Soldier, Theaster Gates, David Drake, James Castle, and others."
"The choice of Matthew Barney's Redoubt to inaugurate Tinworks at Rialto resonates in the bastion of the American West that Bozeman has become in recent years. Filmed in the Sawtooth Mountains in Idaho, the quiet, contemplative movie about what ARTnews described as "animals, alchemy, and the astronomical alignment of earthly bodies and heavenly stars" engages a subject that remains a source of controversy in the region: the reintroduction of wolves into areas including nearby Yellowstone National Park."
Tinworks Art acquired the historic Rialto theater on Bozeman's Main Street and will inaugurate it with screenings of Matthew Barney's 2018 film Redoubt. The Rialto, built in 1908 and converted to a theater in 1924, was donated to Tinworks and becomes part of the organization's nearby two-acre complex of former warehouse and agricultural buildings. The complex has hosted exhibitions by Stephen Shore, Lucy Raven, Layli Long Soldier, Theaster Gates, David Drake, and James Castle. Jenny Moore joined Tinworks in 2023 after nine years at Chinati Foundation. Redoubt engages themes including wolf reintroduction and marks the 30th anniversary of that undertaking.
