Deborah Roberts features in 'The Rose'

The Rose is an exploration of collage as feminist form, strategy, and genealogy. The exhibition includes works by fifty contemporary artists, as well as several key figures from the 1960s and 70s.

Collage as a medium is radical and political in its cut-apart and dissonant nature. The artists in The Rose use archival materials, family photographs, vernacular imagery, paint, scraps of paper, ceramics, textiles, film, and more as their material. Through cutting, ripping, and rending apart the whole, and repairing it by act of gluing and binding, they assemble things into a new unity. The works have an energy, mysticism, and eroticism that are transformative, helping us to imagine new ways forward.

Exhibiting artists include Deborah Roberts, Leslie Hewitt, Joiri Minaya, Frida Orupabo, Gina Osterloh, Lorna Simpson, Pamela Sneed, Rachelle Anayansi Mozman Solano and Francesca Woodman.

The Rose is curated by artist Justine Kurland and Marina Chao.
