About Me

Rooms GalleryBorn in the balcony of a ballroom. Raised in the back of a flowershop. Come visit us IN OUR NEW SPACE! All Rooms Productions creations premier at the ROOMS Gallery located on the corner of Ruble and 18th street at 645 W 18th St Chicago, IL 60616. ROOMS Productions is the husband/wife team Todd Frugia and Marrakesh. Influenced by the works of Samuel Beckett, Marguerite Duras, and William S. Burroughs, their approach is instinctive and pragmatic contingent on intuition and an unyielding fidelity to their unique vision. By integrating performance, video, audio, and place, ROOMS explores the reservoir of images and sounds of things past, present, and future. They strive to stretch beyond notions of "narrative" and drift into varying presentations of thought and experience by practicing the manipulation, reorganization, and sometimes skewing of specific images, sounds, motion, and placement of perceived reality and the memories it leaves behind. ROOMS maintains the belief that the power of art lives within the visceral reaction to the questions that mystery and ambiguity provoke.MISSION: ROOMS Productions is dedicated to exploring and strengthening the relationship between artist and audience by experimenting with the creative process and expanding the vocabulary of language and experience through live performance, video, and installation.Myspace Layouts
