Denny Renshaw: The BQE 92Y Tribecca, New York, NY October 24 / December 15
This exhibition consists of eight 40 x 50 digital c-prints that represent the latest collaboration between Denny Renshaw and indie
singer-songwriter Sufjan Stevens. The project began for Renshaw back in
2007 when he was commissioned to create photographic studies for
Stevens' "symphonic and cinematic exploration of New York City's
infamous Brooklyn-Queens Expressway", a work that became the critically acclaimed BAM performance and award winning film, The BQE.

The landscape images, accompanied by the addition of Renshaw's photographic representations of the hula hooping wonder women in Stevens' comic book, Hooper Heroes, reflect the major themes of the The BQE's multimedia package. His images have been incorporated into a 40 page BQE themed booklet and a stereoscopic 3D View-Master reel.
