The New Rome series, by Fabio Esteban—an archaeologist, visual artist, writer and photographer—will be featured at MainStreet Pops Gallery at Pilsener Haus, in Hoboken, throughout March and April. The show is in an open-indoor/outdoor setting. An opening-night reception is set for 6 to 8 p.m. on March 4.

Esteban’s work has been published in various magazines and scholarly publications. He’s also written two books, Ancient Pottery in the Yalahau Region and Where Light Turns to Darkness. His latest visual art has been exhibited at galleries and museums in Mexico and the United States, including New York City.

New Rome is described as “a merging of art and science, a counterbalance between the past and the present, (and) a deconstruction of memory and identity and a creative response to the notion of perfection, as in a perfect society. . . . (Esteban) is interested in exploring the use of imagery of monuments, objects, people and landscapes through a broken lens. His principal tool in capturing images is the camera and the film which provides textures, structures and color that he is able to project, paint and or transfer them over discarded surfaces.”

Main Street Pops and Pilsener Haus have partnered to bring a series of pop-up arts programs to Hoboken, with the goal of creating a community space that starts conversations and brings people together. Original art and hand-signed prints will be available for sale.

Location: 1422 Grand St., Hoboken, NJ. For more information, visit MainStreetPops.com.
