The recipient of this year’s Ruth Ann and Nathan Perlmutter Award, Rottenberg will create a new work, entitled Bowls Balls Souls Holes, specifically for the Rose exhibition.
According to Cristopher Bedford, Director of the Rose and curator of the exhibition, “Mika’s installation, which will occupy the Lois Foster Gallery, will be a major statement for her and for the Rose. Her work is simultaneously sophisticated and very, very accessible – and the way she integrates the moving image within the sculptural environment is incredible. Her exhibition will effect a radical transformation of the space through her own sculptural materials, through architecture, through sound, and through the moving image.”
Rottenberg’s immersive video installations envision the female body as a microcosm of larger societal issues of gender, class, globalization and labor. In her provocative short films, a cast of glamorous and oddly erotic workers, chosen for their unique features and talents, engage in outrageous narratives in factory-like settings while exploring means of manufacture and production
