Love Roses

A curtain installation by Lowman and Colen of 'Love Roses' at the Palazzo gallery in Brescia, Italy created a theatrical plane through which Dash Snow could break apart the boundaries of inclusivity and exclusivity inherent to art making and art consumption. In turn, this staging ground quickly provoked the visitors to make dramatic entrances. Every passage through Love Roses and across Snow’s lens built on the collaborative armature – whether or not the participants were aware of the potential irony of the curtain or of the cumulative performance itself. At certain points, the artists themselves enter the frame of the photographs; at others, Snow is visible in his simultaneously primary and tertiary role as auteur. The three planned to create a book from the images as soon as they saw Snow’s processed film in 2008, however Snow passed away before they initiated the project. This book is made now through a collaboration of the Dash Snow Estate, Dan Colen, Nate Lowman, and Brendan Dugan.
