Tribe’s installation work in film and video investigates memory, subjectivity, and doubt with structurally rigorous forms that play on cinema’s unique properties and histories. Often inviting actors, crew members, and technical specialists to participate in the production of her work, the Los Angeles–based artist’s subjects have ranged from the famous amnesiac “Patient H. M.” and the history of Soviet space travel to Vladimir Nabokov’s obsession with butterflies and the artist’s own faulty memories. In her presentation, Tribe will screen some of her recent films and discuss shifting production and exhibition models for her work. Program length: 90 minutes.
