Rob Roth is a multiplatform artist and director based in New York City. He works in a variety of media including theater, video, sculpture and performance. Roth received his BFA from Pratt Institute and has exhibited different work at a variety of venues including the New Museum for Contemporary Art, Performance Space122, Abrons Art Center, Galapagos Art Space, Museum of Arts and Design and Deitch Projects as well as the Whitney Museum of American Art. Roth has created work for such artists as Deborah Harry/Blondie,[1] Vangeline Theater, Justin Bond (Kiki and Herb), Big Art Group, performance artists Julie Tolentino and Narcissister among others. Roth's work had its early fertilization in the 1990s at New York City’s legendary underground nightclub, MOTHER[2] and his poetic visual language springs from his initial training as a painter. As an artist and believer in theater as ritual, Roth creates lyrical and mysterious works within a deconstructed narrative.
