bio

Martha Rosler was born in Brooklyn, New York. She took her B.A. from Brooklyn College in 1965 and her M.F.A. from University of California, San Diego in 1974. Rosler works in video, photo-text, installation, and performance, and writes criticism. Her work in the public sphere ranges from everyday life — often with an eye to women’s experience — and the media, to architecture and the built environment. In Rosler’s work the politically motivated photomontage in the tradition of Hannah Höch or John Heartfiled becomes a socio-political instrument, purposely employed in the mass-media context. Her newest series “Bringing the War Home: House Beautiful, New Series,” addresses the Iraq war.

Martha Rosler is represented by Mitchell-Innes & Nash in New York, NY; Galerie Christian Nagel in Cologne, Germany and Galerie Anne de Villepoix in Paris, France.

OVERTONES gallery is honored and pleased to have Martha Rosler’s “Bringing the War Home: House Beautiful, New Series” archival inkjet prints available in our flat file collection of contemporary art.
