Martha Rosler

Photography and critical studies

Martha Rosler works in video, photo-text, installation, and performance, as well as writing about art and culture. She has lectured extensively in this country and internationally. Her work in the public sphere, often with an eye to women's experience, ranges from the link between social life and the media to architecture and the built environment, from housing and homelessness to systems of transport. Her work has been seen in the Venice Biennale of 2003; the Liverpool Biennial and the Taipei Biennial (both 2004); as well as the "Documenta" exhibition in Kassel, Germany, and several Whitney biennials, and she has had numerous solo exhibitions. A retrospective of her work, "Positions in the Life World," was shown in five European cities and concurrently at the International Center of Photography and the New Museum for Contemporary Art (1998-2000). Rosler has published numerous essays and ten books of photography, art, and writing. Among them are Decoys and Disruptions: Selected Essays 1975-2001 (MIT Press, 2004) and the photo books Passionate Signals (Cantz, 2005), In the Place of the Public: Airport Series (Cantz, 1997), and Rites of Passage (NYFA, 1995). Rosler has been awarded the Spectrum International Prize in Photography for 2005, which was accompanied by a photo and video retrospective at the Sprengel Museum in Hanover and at NGBK in Berlin, Germany.
