theaters” in India. In Nandita Raman’s “Cinema
Play House” the photographer shows the history of
the once-popular cinema halls. In the 1980s, the
rise of home video and the emergence of multiplex
theaters threatened the very existence of these
single-screen theaters and Raman’s black and white
photos documents the gradual disappearance of these
communal spaces.

Ongoing exhibit

Skyspaces and the first in the United States.

by P.S.1 founder Alanna Heiss for the museum’s
inaugural exhibition, but was not shown to the
public until 1986.
