Artists Rebel Against 4 Walls: Building a Rolling Video Art Gallery

3 Women Bring Video Art to the Streets of Seattle

June 13th at ArtsWest Playhouse and Gallery
6–9 pm

Instead of closing shop when things got tough, Interstitial Theatre found a creative solution to better serve artists and the community. Starting this April, the 3 ladies of Interstitial Theatre are bringing video art to 8 different neighborhoods across Seattle with their Mobile Video Screen.

The reels feature internationally and locally acclaimed artists for a total of 14 talented people and 3 different reels. “Video Art will not be ignored” says Interstitial Theatre’s co-founder & Lead Curator Julia Bruk, “because we are bringing it directly to the community.”

After learning that their building in SoDO was closing, the women of Interstitial Theatre took matters into their own hands and built a mobile, weatherproof box-on-wheels to house a screen for exhibiting video art. The Mobile Screen was an instant hit at last Summer’s art events; NEPO 5k Don’t Run and Push Arts New Media Festival. This
Spring and Summer citizens of Seattle will experience video art in their own backyards. Over the course of the next 6 warmer months (April-Sept) the Mobile Screen will stop in Pioneer Square, Capitol Hill, Ballard, Georgetown, Columbia City, West Seattle, PhinneyRidge/Greenwood and the International District.

Since Interstitial Theatre opened its doors just 3 years ago, they have successfully produced 25 exhibits featuring video and new media art by over 45 different artists, showcasing primarily local talent. The women of Interstitial Theatre are passionate in their belief that video and new media art is essential for the public to experience.

“It’s becoming progressively harder to live without pixels embedded into our every day routines and the Mobile Screen offers a way to critique our evolving culture” says Julia Greenway, Curator at Interstitial Theatre.

Interstitial Theatre is breaking boundaries, finding unique ways to exhibit artwork and make new media art accessible to the larger Seattle public at no charge.

With this tour, Interstitial Theatre hopes to encourage people to stop and think, just for a moment, about how the screens in their lives affect their own relationships to the world around them.
