Tracey Snelling’s “Woman on the Run,” on view in the Upper-Level Galleries from September 9, 2011 through February 5, 2012, provides a film-noir-like setting for a crime story in which the mysterious Veronica Hayden is sought for questioning in her husband’s disappearance. Viewers of Snelling’s installation play the part of witness, actor, and detective, and are charged with figuring out of what type of woman Veronica Hayden really is. Inspired by this constructed alternate world, the Frist Center has planned a five-part film series exploring femme fatales and their identities: are they are heroines, duplicitous dames, or something in-between?

About the film:
In the midst of a soaring Florida heat wave, Matty, a classy, seductive, unhappily married socialite, begins a steamy affair with Ned, a small-town lawyer. After several weeks of electrifying encounters and confessions of love, Matty makes it clear that she wants to leave her husband, but that she also wants his money. In order to live a life of luxury and eschew the secrecy of their relationship, Matty convinces Ned to kill her husband. This study of complicity, sexual obsession, and double crosses, which is told through masterful dialogue and a feeling for character, is a fascinating and powerful drama. Stars Kathleen Turner and William Hurt. Directed by Lawrence Kasdan, 1981. 118 minutes. 35mm. Rated R.
