  1. New Project and Interview [Excerpt] from Artist Fawn Rogers Fawn Rogers releases first mention of new, multi-faceted art installation for exhibition in Los Angeles and New York. Los Angeles, CA, December 17, 2013 - Having traveled extensively in over 50 countries, with professional art exhibitions on four continents, artist Fawn Rogers has a habit of embracing the fullrange of human experience. Since her first public installation in Puna, India in 1993 (a three-story site-specific installationtitled “Jewels, Gods, and Dust”), Rogers has covered the map - literally and artistically - in herattempts to reflect and inspire experience. Other notable international exhibitions have included“Kokoro” in Tokyo in 1995, and “Earth to Hand” in Marche, Italy in 1999. Her most recent installation, a commission of works from the Visible Light series, is currently onview at Alan Friedman, 350 N Canon Drive in Beverly Hills. She recently sat down for an interview on her work with light. The following is an excerpt: Interviewer: “You’ve worked in a variety of media, and in a variety of settings. Do you feel likethere’s a sort of through-line, or central theme to your work?” Fawn Rogers: “Human connection to others and nature. Sensuality. The interplay of light and theabyss.” IN: “How has that been a part of the current series?” FR: “Technically speaking, the substance of the art is pure light. There is a dichotomy betweenthat work and the Garden Light series, which has lots of motion and energy, and is curated fromphotographic images taken at midnight. In a non-technical sense, the work came from a very darkplace for me, historically. I was inspired to create this work in response to the abyss.” IN: “What do you have in the works for upcoming projects?” FR: “I just completed a proposal for a possible public exhibition at LAX. And I’m working on a fineart video installation that I’m very excited about. It’s titled “I LOVE YOU AND THAT MAKES MEGOD.” The project comes from a metaphysical place - is it empowering or disempowering? Insome capacity, it’s part of a dialogue with theories of love as exchange of power. And it’s aboutevolution - Art through human history and who we are right now and who I am right now; bothour evolution and an awareness of that evolution.” www.fawnrogers.com Contact: Amanda BermudezFawn Rogers 3530 Wilshire Blvd, Suite 1460Los Angeles, CA USA 310.447.2044 info@fawnrogers.com http://www.fawnrogers.com
