Let's Stay In Tonight, Honey - #1
2015
video still


PLOTTING challenges the passivity of the consumer experience found in motion picture entertainment by breaking down the elements of movie making. Half of the exhibition's paintings require viewers to become doers by throwing darts at a diagram of plot elements–will the heroine live or die, and how? I​s it a rags­to­riches comedy or an ancient mystery that ends in tragedy? Will it be shot in the desert, a suburban basement, or in another galaxy? Each dart that lands determines the fictitious movie’s storyline by chance operation.

A Few of the Ways...
2015
48x32 in
oil, acrylic, silkscreen on linen



Viewers will be able to experience one of these randomly generated stories fully realized in a video piece, L​et’s Stay In Tonight, Honey.​Starring two dominatrices and a submissive, Throwell based the movie on a sexual deviation diagram from an official 1970’s detective manual. The result is a fetish investigation covering everything from voyeurism to pyromania and necrophilia.


The exhibition's second series of paintings are titled C​inema­Puzzles​—riddle­like, visual outlines of classic films, described in entirety, but without specific detail. These pieces spark participant's imagination and demonstrate how even our most beloved films are simple combinations of a few basic elements of storytelling. As a body of work, P​LOTTING emphasizes a larger paradigm for the movies: our escape into cinema then dictates how we desire to escape–an endless cycle of supply and demand–ad infinitum, ad absurdum.
