This 96-page catalog provides a comprehensive overview of "Moving Pictures: A Survey Exhibition of Works by Deborah Oropallo and Collaborators." The exhibition debuted at the Schneider Museum of Art, where it was on view from April 18–May 25, 2024, before traveling to the di Rosa Center for Contemporary Art from September 28, 2024–March 30, 2025.
This catalog represents the first major survey of Deborah Oropallo's work. It features original essays exploring her oeuvre, written by Alma Rose Alvarez, Jeff Kelley, Maria Porges, and Monique Jenkinson. Additionally, the exhibition showcases not only Oropallo's individual works but also her collaborative pieces created alongside artists Andy Rappaport, Michael Goldin, and Jeremiah Franklin.
Deborah Oropallo was born in Hackensack, New Jersey in 1954 and received a BFA from Alfred University and an MA/MFA from the University of California at Berkeley. Originally trained as a painter, Oropallo incorporates mixed media techniques, including photomontage, video, computer editing, printmaking, and painting into her practice. Whether still or moving images, the resulting works bear traces of the distortions that evolve or remain from the image manipulation. Her composite works layer visual sources producing dense interplay between time, place, form, and content.
