Dean Lent : 1.3 Megapixels – Dec. 16th

DEAN LENT:

1.3 Megapixels

OPENING RECEPTION: WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 16, 6-9PM

At the November Group Show and Weekend Workshop, photographer Dean Lent won the drawing for a one-night solo show at Rogue Space.   

Dean Lent graduated UCLA film school where he co-directed and shot the punk cult film Border Radio with Allison Anders.  Since then he’s shot nearly 25 indie features including the Sundance darling Gas Food Lodging, the cult horror comedy Jack Frost, and Phat Girlz (starring Mo’Nique).  He’s recently been a segment shooter for the Emmy award winning Tyra Banks Show in New York.

While in New York (LA is still his home base) he started taking pictures of the city with his flip cell phone (1.3 megapixels) simply as a lark between shoots.  He began fiddling with the images in a basic free photo organizer with surprising results, then sharing them on facebook where the response from his friends and colleagues was singular: DO A SHOW!

Jane Gennaro – “Articulate Remains” – Oct 22 – Nov 14

ARTICULATE REMAINS:

RELIEFS, SCULPTURES, AND

ASSEMBLAGES BY JANE GENNARO

October 22-November 14, 2009

New York–Jane Gennaro will exhibit a survey of reliefs, sculptures and assemblages from the past seven years at Rogue House, from October 22-November 14, 2009. An opening reception will be held on Thursday October 22 from 6-8pm at the gallery, located at 526 W. 26^th St., 9F. Gallery hours are 11am-6pm, Tuesday-Saturday. The exhibition will focus on two of Gennaro’s major series, which use insects, eggs and bones, as well as vintage handkerchiefs and illustrations.

Gennaro will be reading her monologue “Shaking the Goose Egg” eight times during the run of the exhibition. The monologue recounts her confrontation with a pair of wild geese which was the impetus for beginning the visual work on display. Reading schedule: Sunday Oct. 25 at 1pm, Friday Oct. 30 at 7pm, Saturday Oct. 31 at 3pm, Thursday Nov. 5 at 7pm, Friday Nov. 6 at 7pm, Saturday Nov. 7 at 3pm, Thursday Nov. 12 at 7pm, Friday Nov. 13 at 7pm.

The show’s title, Articulate Remains, refers to the artist giving voice to the objects that she finds in nature. Gennaro has written that, “The process begins with observation and culminates in storytelling….The impulse is to save these things and transform them into personal yet universal narratives that will seduce and disturb.”
