• Mid-century Circle Theater, Miami Springs, FL
Coming Soon! or maybe not, 2020
Proposal
Vinyl Banner with Grommets 30 x 96 inches.
Documentation: 120 color negative film scanned to digital.
Coming soon or maybe not. Artist Barron Sherer created a movie theater lobby style banner for a work–in–progress expanded cinema piece, Miami Story/Miami Expose.
The banner features hyperbolic main title cards from two locally produced Film Noirs (filmed in hot spots!) (and then suddenly!) placed on the site of the recently demolished Mid-century Circle Theater in Miami Springs, Florida. The cinema opened in 1949 and the crime films premiered in 1954 and 1956. Sherer’s COVID-era ballyhoo/intervention on behalf of his experimental film, gestures toward the precarious nature of traditional art and cinema production and the symbiotic trades of art and cinema exhibition.
