In Public

26 May – 30 July 2011
via a. stradella 7

After Martha Rosler’s comprehensive exhibition at Gam, Turin, this past fall and winter, Raffaella Cortese is delighted to announce the artist’s first Italian gallery solo show. The exhibition will  bring together a wide range of works covering several periods and fields of interest in the artist’s oeuvre. The guiding principle is Rosler’s attention towards representations of everyday life, often understood against a background of world events.

Martha Rosler has been an important figure in art since the 1960’s, contributing ground-breaking works in various media including video, photography, installation, performance, photo-text and critical writing. Her work addresses social life and the public sphere, often staking out feminist and anti-war positions. She has been included in numerous international exhibitions, most recently the Singapore Biennale; WACK! Art and the Feminist Revolution at The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, PS1 in Queens, and other venues; UnMonumental at The New Museum in New York; Documenta 12; and Skulptur Projekte Münster; and Ambitions d’Art at Institut d’Art Contemporain in Villeurbanne, France.
