"The Night Bagdad Exploded in Jersey City"
8' x 4' x 1" - Aluminum
Gallery, New Jersey City University

A couple of years after the numbing shock of watching the two planes fly into the World Trade Center across the Hudson River from my studio I was again able to work on making beautifulness. The ecstasy was short lived. The studio became four walls of agony the night George W. Bush started murdering Bagdad. The nonstop alighting of the city with militarily surreal fireworks and the television coverage of it infuriated me.
The anger of that night poured out into THE NIGHT BAGDAD EXPLODED in JERSEY CITY. The ferocity of the bombing ignited the furious creation of the eight-foot by four-foot aluminum panel. The small wide-angle mirror in the piece is placed to establish the ownership of the events of that evening on every person who experiences the sculpture.

 “One must still have chaos in oneself to give birth to a dancing star...” Thus spoke Herb Rosenberg’s through words of Zarathustra as his contribution to the ‘Head to Toe’ exhibition.
What you see is the whole me, from head to toe through organized chaos of light, color and shimmeringnesses.

Opening reception November 7th, 5:00-8:00pm Dialogue with an Ancient Forest, Perth Amboy Visual Arts Center, 339 Reade Street, Perth Amboy, New Jersey 08862

Its very possible that ancient forests around the world house the silent history of life's survival techniques from which, if we are to endure, we should learn to listen or perhaps, listen to learn. Eavesdropping on these chroniclers of healing we just might not land up destroying ourselves and the world we love.
Come and walk through an environmental awakening of thirteen, nine-foot columns within an amazing sound-filled space.
The installation consists of thirteen nine foot columns on wooden bases in which  a wireless speaker system emanates a sound composition created by Andrew Rosenberg, Herb's son.
