Other Scenes at Roberts & Tilton presents an eclectic group of emerging and established artists all of whom share disturbing yet romantic visions, such as Rita Ackermann, Gusmano Cesaretti, Daido Moriyama, Daniel Higgs, Becca Mann, Ryan McGinley, Jockum Nordström, Raymond Pettibon and Gee Vaucher. In these artist’s works, a discreet form of protest exists; a desire to find love amongst the ruins, beauty in the shadows. The works included in the exhibition span from 1974 to the present, including many works created specifically for this exhibition.

Other Scenes, the catalogue published on the occasion by Nieves, includes selected images from the works on display, some of which have been pulled from archives that have not been accessed for over twenty years. This is the third collaboration between Nieves and Aaron Rose, an independent curator currently living in Los Angeles. He is co-curator of the museum exhibition Beautiful Losers which opened in March 2004 at Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati and will tour the world through 2008. Rose is also publisher, writer and co-editor of ANP Quarterly, a free arts/cultural magazine.
