Mika Rottenberg’s practice combines video, installations, drawings and sculptures. Many of her works portray absurd assembly-line situations in which work is often being carried out by women whose outsized, far from conventionally beautiful bodies are called into play both as tools and raw materials. Offering captivating narratives in which whimsicality and wit merge with weirdness, and reality morphs into fiction, Rottenberg’s films are presented in the context of immersive installations that plunge the viewer into their world—a world beyond the screen—in a blurring of the borders between the imagined and the real.

Mika Rottenberg développe une pratique artistique qui conjugue la réalisation de vidéos, d’installations, de dessins et de sculptures. Dans de nombreuses de ses œuvres, elle met en scène des situations absurdes de travail à la chaîne, souvent interprétées par des femmes. Leurs corps, hors des normes et loin des canons habituels, sont entièrement mobilisés et utilisés comme outils de travail et matières premières. Captivants récits où la fantaisie et l’humour se mêlent à l’étrangeté et où le réel semble se distordre dans la fiction, les films de Mika Rottenberg sont montrés au sein d’installations immersives qui plongent les spectateurs dans leur univers au-delà de l’écran et participent ainsi à brouiller les frontières entre imaginaire et réalité. Livre publié à l’occasion de l’exposition personnelle de Mika Rottenberg au Palais de Tokyo, 23.06 – 11.09 2016

The catalog also features an overview by New Museum Curator Margot Norton. Easypieces is part of an ongoing series of solo exhibitions that provide a focused exploration of artists' practices and continues the New Museum's history of giving contemporary artists their first museum presentations in New York.
Consumer critique meets absurdist humor in the "socal surrealist" works of the installation and video artist Born in Argentina, raised in Israel and now living in New York, Mika Rottenberg (born 1976) explores connections between people in the global consumer society through film, installation, sculpture and drawing. In Rottenberg's work, people--most often women--and machines are engaged in incessant production. Rhythmic editing and sound design whirl us into labyrinthine processes in which goods are manufactured and conveyed in one big, surreal hamster wheel. Her scenarios are funhouse versions of our own world; like science labs investigating naturally occurring phenomena, the artist's installations can be seen as designs and models testing social concepts and abstract systems. Rottenberg herself calls her art "social surrealism." This catalog, designed by the internationally acclaimed Dutch designer Irma Boom, presents some of Rottenberg's most trenchant work, as well as an interview with the artist by Anders Kold, curator at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, and an introduction by William Pym.
A collection that tracks the astonishing impact of one vernacular aesthetic category—the cute—on postwar and contemporary art. The Cute tracks the astonishing impact of a single aesthetic category on post-war and contemporary art, and on the vast range of cultural practices and discourses on which artists draw. From robots and cat videos to ice cream socials, The Cute explores the ramifications of an aesthetic “of” or “about” minorness—or what is perceived to be diminutive, subordinate, and above all, unthreatening—on the shifting forms and contents of art today. This anthology is the first of its kind to show how contemporary artists have worked on and transformed the cute, ...
Globalization, technology, and politics have altered the definition and expectations of citizenship and the right to place. 'Dimensions of Citizenship' documents contributions from the seven firms selected to represent the United States in the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale. This paperback volume profiles and illustrates each of the US Pavilion contributions and contextualizes them in terms of scale.0Drawing inspiration from the Eames? Power of Ten, 'Dimensions of Citizenship' will provide a view of belonging across seven stages starting with the individual (Citizen), then the collective (Civic, Region, Nation), and expanding to include all phases of contemporary society, real and projected (Globe, Network, Cosmos). Additional essays?by Ingrid Burrington, Ana María León, and Nicholas de Monchaux, among others?will offer essential and enquiring responses to these themes. 00Exhibition: US Pavilion, Venice Architecture Biennale, Italy (16.05.-25.11.2018).
Throughout the fin de siècle, "energy" was a buzzword that was used far beyond the boundaries of the sciences to negotiate the formative scope as well as limits of Western modernity. The human body was positioned at the center of the visualization of this enigmatic drive of all movement in discourses on labor and economics, physical culture, sport, art, and literature. It was through the body that this all-pervading and conditioning physical principle as well as its perceptual qualities were to be made tangible. This volume is dedicated to these "energetic bodies." The transdisciplinary individual contributions trace body scenarios of force and energy over the course of history from 1800 to the peak phase around 1900 and up to the present.
