Screening of Mariah Garnett’s Film "Trouble" + Artist Q+A
About this Event
Mariah Garnett’s films and installations deconstructs the conventional hierarchy between filmmaker and subject, a mode that has historically been the purview of directors who possess economic, racial and gender privilege. Garnett is a 2019 Guggenheim Fellow in Film/Video and holds an MFA from Calarts and a BA from Brown University. Her work is currently included in the 2026 Whitney Biennial. Recent solo exhibitions include Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston, Commonwealth + Council, a 10 year survey of her work at the LA Municipal Art Gallery, and Sundance Film Festival, 2021. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, The New Yorker, Art Forum, Bomb among others and has screened and exhibited internationally at The New Museum, Brooklyn Academy Of Music (BAM), REDCAT, Made in LA (Hammer Museum Biennial), The Metropolitan Arts Centre (Tate Belfast), CPH:DOX, Hot Docs, NY Film Festival, and BFI London.
Trouble tells the story of a queer American filmmaker who connects with her estranged Northern Irish father, discovering new things about his political past by playing him as a young man in a series of verbatim re-enactments.
The film will run for 81 minutes, followed by a moderated Q+A with the artist, moderated by Shirley Fiterman Art Center Director Dr. Lisa Panzera.
The screening is held in conjunction with At the Edge, open through August 15th at the Shirley Fiterman Art Center. The exhibition includes artists spanning five decades whose practices grapple with the urgencies of their time. Working across performance, video, installation, and mixed media, these artists push against established definitions of art and culture.
The event is free and open to the public. Please reserve a spot via the Eventbrite.
