ROSEGALLERY - The Luminescence of Memory

The Luminescence of Memory will be on view at ROSEGALLERY from 20 April 2024 through 15 June 2024 with an opening reception on Saturday, 20 April from 2 - 5PM. 

ROSEGALLERY is pleased to present The Luminescence of Memory, a presentation of daguerreotypes by Binh Danh. The Luminescence of Memory consists of a selection of daguerrotypes taken by Danh at various US National Parks, such as Death Valley, Joshua Tree, and Yosemite National Parks.

“The landscape is what defines me. When I am somewhere new or familiar, I am constantly in dialogue with the past, present, and my future self. When I am thinking about landscape, I am thinking about those who had stood on this land before me. Whoever they are, hopefully, history recorded their markings on the land for us to study and contemplate” - Binh Danh, an excerpt from Reflections in a Mirrored Eye.

Opening at City Garage “The Bald Soprano” by Eugene Ionesco

Translated and adapted by Frédérique Michel & Charles Duncombe

City Garage announces the revival of its acclaimed production of The Bald Soprano by Eugene Ionesco. This mad, crazy, wildly funny play is the comic masterpiece that launched the Theatre of the Absurd. It was first produced in 1950 is now the longest running, continuously performed show in history at le Théatre de la Huchette in Paris.  It's the story of an ordinary evening in the home of M. and Madame Smith that spins madly out of control as they entertain their guests, the Martins. Dazzling in its linguistic acrobatics, the play is a comic masterpiece of joyful, irrational anti-logic and a looney parody of the stolid, thick-witted world of middleclass propriety. In an escalating battle of banalities, polite conversation turns to confusion, then mayhem, and finally explodes into cheerful, liberating chaos. Simultaneously comic and profound, it is a short, sharp ludicrous journey into a funhouse mirror version of the world we think we know—and the truth of what we do not. 

Preview: Friday, April 26, 2024 8:00pm

Opening: Saturday, April 27, 2024 8:00pm

Performances: Fridays, Saturdays, 8:00pm; Sundays 4:00pm
