This week, we’re featuring the ever-imaginative cartoonist, photographer, performer and (among many, many other things) writer Flash Rosenberg, whose photographs will be featured at the Delaware Art Museum starting June 27th, 2015 as part of the “Dream Streets: Art in Wilmington 1970-1990” exhibit. This is a major group show celebrating the 70s and 80s art scene in Delaware, where Flash was a dynamic instigator and provocateur at the beginning of her art career. Flash’s black & white photo-cartoons will be featured, along with her catalog essay about that era’s photo hijinks and ideas. Each day, we will feature one of her photographs, captioned by the photographer herself.
Supermarkets have always struck Flash as a paradise for surrealism.
