Woman on the Run: Woman on the Run Drink at Proof on Main @21c Museum Hotel, Louisville KY

Woman on the Run: Woman on the Run intricately mixes architecture, scale modeling, video, photography and 3-D storytelling with a heady dose of Hollywood glamour and Hitchcock-like built-in suspense. Through manipulation of scale and perception, this cutting-edge installation employs miniature recreations of urban decay and downtrodden malaise to highlight the plight of the independent woman in peril. Focusing on that film noir staple—the femme fatale—Woman on the Run straddles two realities, today’s and yesteryear’s. Initially commissioned by Selfridges, Woman on the Run was shown at the Oxford Street location in London during Frieze 2008, before being brought to the U.S., where it was shown in the non-profit art space Smack-Mellon in Brooklyn’s DUMBO district in 2009. After 21c, Woman on the Run will be showing in September 2011, through February 2012, at the Frist Center for the Visual Arts in Nashville, TN, and later at the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art (SECCA) in Winston-Salem in March through May 2012.
