SAINT LOUIS, MO.- The Saint Louis Art Museum presents its latest New Media Series installation, Teresa Hubbard / Alexander Birchler: Single Wide. The video will be on view in Gallery 301 through March 25, 2012.  Hubbard and Birchler’s Single Wide (2002) is a gripping yet deliberately enigmatic six-minute story. Shot on a meticulously staged set, the film offers a glimpse into the tormented life of a young woman living in a trailer home. Single Wide features a highly constructed setting in which detail and ambiguity are skillfully juxtaposed, with numerous clues but no complete answers. Hubbard and Birchler are best known for such narrative complexity, further heightened by their characteristic use of seamless looping.
