伦敦历史悠久的科宗电影院位于梅菲尔，以其华丽的盒子和另类节目而闻名，是伦敦西区马尔伯勒当代画廊新展览的焦点。

利物浦出生的视觉艺术家劳伦斯·卡瓦纳赫(Laurence Kavanagh)曾在柯宋岛(Curzon)现场工作，从其木板砌成的混凝土墙壁上取下表面的拓片，并将其重新定位为一系列新的拼贴画。在这样做时，他评论了电影的“建筑和氛围”是如何影响我们对这部电影的印象的。

“电影院是一座建筑，用来将我们内心的心灵投射到屏幕上，”卡瓦纳格告诉沃尔纸业，“它代表了真实与想象之间构建的关系。”通过使用建筑物的物理痕迹和残余物，卡瓦纳格庆祝这些精心策划的环境，并将它们放在舞台的中心。他精心地层层层叠，创造了戏剧性的3D印象。

每一层都剥去洋葱样的皮，以揭示二级电影的曲折过去。它于1934年开业，但在1964年被有争议地拆除，为一座办公楼让路，两年后才被重建。这是卡瓦纳赫的项目的一个功劳，因为他的工作人员对他在现场的潜移默化表现出了很好的适应。“首先，他们让我在电影院大楼里工作；其次，他们向我提供了自电影院开业以来放映的所有电影的清单，帮助了我的概念性工作。”卡瓦纳呼吁他自己的童年记忆这些电影，以影响抽象的形象嵌入他的拼贴画。

卡瓦纳赫还受到了他在实习期间放映的电影的启发，他可以听到从电影院墙上播放的声音。他说，在我在Curzon工作期间，Revenant和Anomalisa都在展示。这解释了混合的颜色，风格和影响交织在一起的系列。

伦敦交通局最近宣布，柯尔逊(Curzon)附近的索霍支部是“感兴趣的地方”，这意味着它可能在未来两年内被推土机推平，为2号铁路的开发让路。似乎梅菲尔·柯宗也是卡瓦纳赫感兴趣的地方(尽管方式迥异)-马尔伯勒当代展对这家伦敦机构来说，再重要不过了。

The series aims to comment on how the 'architecture and atmosphere' of the cinema plays into our impression of the film on show. Pictured: inside the palatial Mayfair cinema. Courtesy Curzon

By using physical traces and residues of the building, Kavanagh celebrates these carefully curated surroundings and places them centre stage. Pictured: 21.3.2016, 2016. Courtesy the artist and Marlborough Contemporary London

The Grade II-listed cinema (pictured) is an arthouse icon with a chequered past. It opened in 1934, only to be knocked down in 1964 to make way for an office block, before being reconstructed two years later. Pictured: inside the main theatre. Courtesy Curzon

'During the period I was working at Curzon, both The Revenant and Anomalisa were showing,' he says. Pictured: 10.3.2016, 2016. Courtesy the artist and Marlborough Contemporary London

Given the imminent potential razing of Curzon Soho, this show couldn't have come at a better time for the institution. Pictured: 21.3.2016, 2016. Courtesy the artist and Marlborough Contemporary London
