PRESS RELEASE:

  Rogue Video and Performance presents “trashed,” a screening of art video shorts co-curated by Meghan Blowers and Marie Sullivan, independent curators currently enrolled in the the Museum Professions Program at Seton Hall University. “trashed” explores the potential for beauty, meaning and use in the discarded, revealing the current interest in the burgeoning salvage movement and its cultural significance. The selected videos also investigate the consequences of the transformation of the worthless to the valued.

  Curators Meghan Blowers and Marie Sullivan noted that their selection of works will “convey the breadth and substance of the upcycling phenomenon.” Participating artists include: Adam Abel, Anton Cabaleiro, Mike Celona, Steve Cossman, Shalom Gorewitz, Ashley John Pigford, Tara Raye Russo, Susan Shaw, Molly Schwartz, Chanika Svetvilas, Adam Trowbridge and Jessica Westbrook, Scott Wolniak, Nancy Wyllie, and Biying Zhang

  Rogue Video is the vision of independent curators Jeanne Brasile and Jade Ariella Lien. The two paired up to develop video screenings in October 2010 as part of PixelPops! 2010 in Newark, New Jersey. After perfecting the mobile set-up,they decided to continue these out of doors art projects under the name Rogue Video. In January of this year they brought on Charles Estes as a third curator. Eager to present art out of the standard gallery setting, the three continue to develop screenings and performances in the Greater New York City Area. It is outside of the confines of the gallery that they discovered their creativity can run free and literally leap tall buildings in a single bound.
