BOZEMAN—Tinworks Art is thrilled to announce the opening of a new downtown Bozeman site at the historic Rialto Theater, expanding the organization’s footprint and deepening its commitment to bringing contemporary art to the American West. The new space, Tinworks at Rialto, will open November 21, 2025 with Matthew Barney’s Redoubt, on view through January 2026. The presentation of Redoubt coincides with the 30th anniversary of the return of gray wolves to Yellowstone National Park, one of the most successful conservation efforts in modern history.

The addition of Tinworks at Rialto establishes a dynamic, year-round presence for contemporary art in downtown Bozeman. The space offers a flexible venue for installations, artist talks, film screenings, and performances, inviting visitors to engage with new ideas and creative experimentation at the center of the city. This complements Tinworks’ existing two-acre site on N Ida Ave comprised of a former metal manufacturing warehouse and mix of former agricultural buildings, which continue to support large-scale art projects, exhibitions, artist residencies, and experimental work.

“Bringing Tinworks into the heart of downtown strengthens our connection with the community and ensures that ground-breaking contemporary art is part of Bozeman’s daily life,” said Jenny Moore, Director of Tinworks Art. “The Rialto is a beloved local landmark and we’re thrilled to see it become a hub for new ideas and creative dialogue. It feels especially fitting to open with Matthew Barney’s Redoubt, a film that captures the magnificence and complexity of the American West and reflects Tinworks’ ongoing engagement with place, myth, history, and experimentation.”

Barney’s Redoubt was filmed in Idaho’s Sawtooth Mountain range and layers classical, cosmological, and American myths about humanity’s place in the natural world. When it premiered in 2019, the New York Times called it “breathtakingly beautiful...a western that reaches for the cosmic.” Continuing the artist’s long-standing interest in landscape as both setting and subject, Redoubt loosely adapts the myth of Diana, goddess of the hunt, and Actaeon, a hunter who trespasses on her and is punished. Like much of Barney’s work, the film contains no dialogue. The narrative is conveyed through an original score composed and orchestrated by Jonathan Bepler, the modern-dance movements of Eleanor Bauer and Laura Stokes, and the hoop dancing of Sandra Lamouche, a member of the Bigstone Cree Nation. These elements echo and foreshadow the characters’ encounter with the wildlife and terrain of the West.
