September 7th, 2010 · No Comments
This Thursday Lora Reynolds Gallery presents the first-ever public screening ofGrand Paris Texas, a beautiful 57 minute ‘documentary’ by Austin based artists Teresa Hubbard and Alexander Birchler. If you haven’t seen this work (and you probably haven’t) I emplore you; do not miss this opportunity to experience the understated beauty and craftsmanship that is Hubbard/Birchler studio.
ABOUT THE WORK
Grand Paris Texas explores the history, people and catalysts that have imprinted the small Texas town of Paris. The central protagonist lying at the heart of Hubbard / Birchler’s film is The Grand – a time-weathered, abandoned downtown movie theater. The artists use the striking imagery of this bird-infested theater and interviews with members of the community to explore the role of cinema and the identity of Paris, Texas.

A conversation between the artists and Ned Rifkin – Director of The Blanton Museum of Art – will follow the screening.
