New York, NY, USA

The first retrospective of one of the most influential American artists of the last thirty years, Martha Rosler: Positions in the Life World, brings together all aspects of her seminal video works, photography, performance, installation, and critical theory. Martha Rosler is a pioneer in exploring the underpinnings of such contemporary cultural phenomena as the objectification of women and the globalization of economies.

Martha Rosler was among the first artists to challenge the myth and mystique of photographic reality, and has helped expand the definitions of art by effortlessly combining an incisive critique of value systems with a humorous and accessible narrative style.
