Considering Art : Considering Plastic

You know Duchamp and the readymade - now meet Rottenberg and her ‘easypieces.'

About this Event

Join our community on March 31st for a sensory delve into the world of artist Mika Rottenberg. This interactive and exploratory tour led by Mark aims to immerse participants into the highly textured, sensually active, and brightly colored world of plastic, capitalism, politics, and desire.

Navigating a diverse portfolio of work and mediums, we aim to explore the consequences of our continual thirst for the 'new', the 'cheap', and the 'luxurious. We ask: How is luxury established? Who ultimately pays the price for our access to global 'free' markets and systems? When/where/can this ever end?

Mika Rottenberg (b. 1976, Buenos Aires, Argentina) lives and works in Brooklyn. Recent solo exhibitions include MAMbo – Museo d'Arte Moderna di Bologna (2019); Goldsmiths Centre for Contemporary Art, London (2018); Kunsthaus Bregenz, Austria (2018); Bass Museum of Art, Miami (2017); Palais de Tokyo, Paris (2016); Rose Art Museum, Brandeis University, Waltham, MA (2014); Israel Museum, Jerusalem (2013); and Magasin 3, Stockholm (2013). Rottenberg was included in the 16th Venice Architecture Biennale (2018), Skulptur Projekte Münster (2017), the 56th Venice Biennale (2015), and the Taipei Biennial (2014). She was awarded the 2019 Kurt Schwitters Prize and the 2018 Smithsonian Art Prize.
