Rocco Scary: The Last Place on Earth
September 26, 2008 - December 6, 2008
Featured Artist Project organized by Alexander Campos, Executive Director
Rocco Scary’s work is about the relationship between place and memory. His stacking book structures are made of both paper and metal, and can be taken apart or un-stacked to reveal evocative images and scenes in miniature. The work is inspired by the artist’s love of his home state, New Jersey, where overdevelopment threatens to destroy the region’s character and history.
The works below are examples of the artist’s works. The artist is currently producing new works to exhibit at the Center. Artist Talk: Friday, November 14th, 6:30pm with Rocco Scary suggested donation: $10/$5 CBA members
