“A cross between a group exhibition and the Madonna Inn, curator Roger Gastman has assembled a crew of eight artists (painters, photographers, video-makers, and printers) who, as with any good group show, both resonate with and differ from each other in style and sensibility. However, due to the innovative architectural division of the gallery, their various works don't come into the kind of direct juxtaposition with each other that usually animates a multi-person show. Instead, Gastman gave them each their own room to occupy as they saw fit — and the results are more than a chain of mini solo shows. As the viewers progress through the maze, infinite narrative variations take shape; but more than that, the stations are linked together as examples of what happens when artists are encourage to think both inside and outside the box.”

Scion says: Curated by Roger Gastman and built out and divided into eight separate spaces, ROOMS allows an unlikely group of artists to show together. The artists' work will not only be hung on the walls, but each artist will design their own themed room, so that their work literally comes off the walls. The possibilities are endless, and sure to be inspiring.
Kime Buzzelli will create a teenage girl's bedroom complete with vintage frocks, collected objects and her feminine, fanciful art; Adam Wallacavage's custom chandeliers and frocked wallpaper will fill his guest room; Dueling VHS will build a wood-paneled basement with TVs playing their hilarious episodes; Chris Stain's stencil work will adorn the archway leading outside; Bill Daniel will craft the bedroom of a suburban teenager gone bad with a tent of punk T-shirts, bike parts and crumpled homework; Justin Van Hoy's re-worked NBA logo screen prints will hang in the room of an obsessed NBA fan circa the early 1990s; Rocky Grimes' classroom will be filled with desks, doodles and large cutout human figures; and Dan Monick and Caitlin Reilly's room will become a bus stop at night with portraits of passengers and surrounding scenes installed in light boxes.
