The Peanut Gallery: Brion Nuda Rosch 'Meat Form'
_
_
The Peanut Gallery was an 8 ft by 5 ft space housed within the walls of design and advertising agency Mother New York. Designer Damien Saatdjian and I created it in 2012 to create space solely for the experience of art, and bring a heightened focus to the art exhibited. This unique gallery setting was ideal for art enthusiasts who had become disillusioned by the blank, industrial spaces typical of so many New York galleries.
For our third exhibition, The Peanut Gallery presented Meat Form by Brion Nuda Rosch; a San Francisco based artist whose collages and sculptures humorously challenge our perception of commonplace objects and icons. In this instance, Brion turned his attention to meat, showcasing jarring images of cooked animal flesh not only within the miniscule gallery but also on an expansive billboard at 44th and 11th Avenue in New York.
