FEED.art presents: Stephan Moore and Jenny Boles: Palace of Machinery

Palace of Machinery is a haunting multi-screen video and sound installation that reanimates archival films made inside Pittsburgh's Westinghouse factories. Projected at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair, they offered visions of progress and spectacles of orchestrated labor at an uncertain time. Sounding a disorienting echo of these turn-of-the-century dreams, the installation evokes the past in the present and questions our own modern "palaces."

The installation is a 30-minute experience from start to finish. Visitors are invited to half-hour cycles, and may get close to the films or sit in the middle of the space to immerse themselves in 100' of wall-to-wall projections and bathe in the vast soundscape. The artists will be present March 26 for informal discussions.

The exhibition runs all Spring, weekend evenings
Starting 3/26/25 Friday/Saturday 5-10PM through Memorial Day. Private viewings by appointment Community@FEED.art
Suggested Donation: $5-$10

Jenny Boles (Bozeman) makes films and moving image art that investigates the intersections between history and power through questions of labor, infrastructure, and ecology. Stephan Moore (Chicago) is a sound artist working at the intersection of performance and interactive systems.
