GOT PHONE? GOT PHOTOS!
If your cell phone has become an extension of your arm, you know what it's like to have the ability to take a photo 24/7. The photos on exhibit in Gallery One at RoCA have been taken by people from all walks of life including professional photographers, kids, politicians, and everyone in between. The show illustrates an intensely intimate and spontaneous world available as a result of cell phone photography. All the work that was submitted in response to RoCA's open call is included in this installation.

In Place of Process unites the works of three artists, Katherine Hubbard, Yoko Inoue, and Anissa Mack, whose sculptural forms engage process-oriented approaches to media, materiality, and the creation of narratives in surprising new ways. The exhibition installation creates three "islands" within the gallery; each one allows for an intimate investigation of an artist’s work, in view of the others. A publication including conversations between each artist and the curator draws out further connections and dialogues between the works on view.

The Portrait Project was the result of two talented groups of students from Spring Valley High School visiting RoCA's exhibition Fractions of Sight: Looking at Contemporary Photography. After exploring the art on view, the class broke off into pairs and skillfully photographed each other using a variety of props, backdrops, costumes and locations at RoCA.

Direct, irreverent, and infused with an ironic eroticism, Donegan's works put a subversive spin on issues relating to sex, gender, art-making, and art history. In "Stop Me if You Heard This One Before," 2008, Donegan recites Warhol superstar, Viva's monologue from Nude Restaurant and casts her 9-year-old son as Taylor Meade.
