Free Movie Night: “Twister”

August 22nd.

Shown in conjunction with “The Weather” – Barbara Bloom’s Exhibition in the Old Point Schoolhouse.

Before the tornado hits the screen at Poquatuck Hall, come see another creative depiction of weather. Barbara Bloom’s exhibition, “The Weather,” on view now in the Old Point Schoolhouse until September 27th, reimagines seascape paintings from the OHS collection—sky and sea half-hidden, leaving only a glimpse of the drama or calm within. Accompanying these are gray-green-blue carpets, hovering above the floor, with raised-dot Braille texts, each with a different literary description of the weather. The exhibition accentuates the complexity of seeing… leaving much to the imagination.

Then join us for a FREE screening of Twister, the 1996 Hollywood blockbuster that puts you right in the eye of the storm. OHS presents two very different ways to reckon with the weather: quiet, contemplative, and partial, then loud, visceral, and total.
