Hailing from Providence, Rhode Island, Rotgut comes to New Image for his first solo show. Peripherally involved with the burgeoning (hemorrhaging) street art scene, Rotgut has gotten attention for using chains and bolts to attach big, ugly pieces of metal and wood to public fixtures in New York. In MUTTS & MONGRELS DIRTY BLOOD HERITAGE SOCIETY, Rotgut transforms the gallery into a bizarre combination of a union meeting hall and a greyhound race track with effigies of historical figures hanging from the ceiling and a motorcycle arcade game facsimile going bonkers.  It'll be out of this world.
