Galerie Depardieu is pleased to present recent works by Daniel Rothbart. Central to this exhibition is Broken, a video piece that documents forty-four manganese-glazed ceramic shards arranged in paths and constellations in different neighborhoods of New York City. Filmed largely in the Fort Greene and Williamsburg communities of Brooklyn and Harlem, this piece not only calls attention to the fractured reality of urban existence but also hidden potentials made manifest by chance encounters with people and environments. Also on exhibit are recent works in welded aluminum inspired by rugged plants that sprout in fissures of concrete and the iron trestles of industrial architecture.
Advance copies of the new book Daniel Rothbart: Works 1990-2009 by Enrico Pedrini and published by Ulisse e Calipso will be available in the gallery. This 207 page bilingual English and Italian edition traces parallel currents in Rothbart's oeuvre, following his object-based vocabulary of bronze and aluminum branchings, digital collages and collaborative performance work. Daniel Rothbart: Works 1990-2009 includes essays by Enrico Pedrini, John Perreault and Varda Genossar and an interview with the artist.
Daniel Rothbart was born in Stanford, California, in 1966. He studied sculpture at the Rhode Island School of Design and holds a Masters Degree from Columbia University. In 1990 he won a Fulbright grant to Italy. Rothbart’s work is represented in public and private collections including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Orsini Foundation in Gallarate. Recent projects include exhibitions at the Andrea Meislin Gallery and Exit Art in New York and the Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art in Peekskill. Rothbart is the author of two books and has worked as the Contributing Associate Editor of NYArts Magazine since 1998. He has participated in numerous international artists' residencies and was awarded a New York Foundation for the Arts grant. Daniel Rothbart will take part in a collaborative project at the Lab Gallery in New York City in July 2010 and has a forthcoming personal exhibition at HP Garcia Gallery in New York City in September 2010.
