Martha Rosler is an artist who works primarily with photography and video and mixed forms, from performances to installations to public projects with multiple participants. Her work addresses what she has called "the mythologies of everyday life," especially in relation to women's lives. She has also explored the construction of space, from the built environment to media space and virtual projections. Rosler's works have centered on cooking, women's bodies, television, housing, and airports, roads and subways. Among her many videotapes are Semiotics of the Kitchen (1975); Vital Statistics of a Citizen, Simply Obtained (1977); If It's Too Bad to Be True, It Could Be Disinformation (1985); and Chile on the Road to NAFTA (1997). Her photo projects include The Bowery in two inadequate descriptive systems (1975) and In the Place of the Public (Airport Series), (1983--present). Rosler has received a number of awards and fellowships, including 5 fellowships from the US National Endowment for the Arts; most recently the Foundation of Lower Saxony and the Sprengel Museum Hannover have awarded her the Spectrum International Prize for Photography. She has published many articles and several books. A recent book o Rosler's work is Positions in the Life World. In 2000-2001, a retrospective of her work was shown in 5 European cities as well as two museums in New York City. Rosler was born in Brooklyn, New York, lived in California for a dozen years, and once again resides in Brooklyn.
