“Martha Rosler works in photography, video, sculpture, installation, and performance. Her practice centers on the interactions of the public and the private spheres, exploring issues from everyday life and the media to war and the built environment, especially as they affect women. She aims to engage people as citizens, investigating and challenging the way power is normalized through images and discourses. Rosler’s work has been widely exhibited, nationally and internationally. Her photo/text piece The Bowery in two inadequate descriptive systems (1974–75) is considered a milestone in the examination of documentary practices in art and photography. She has published several books of photographs, texts, and commentary on the uses of space, ranging from airports, roads, and underground train systems to housing and gentrification. Her writing has appeared in publications such as Artforum, e-flux journal, and Texte zur Kunst. Rosler lives and works in Brooklyn.”
