PRAISE AND REVIEWS

Andrea Kirsh
Mika Rottenberg’s videos and installations are marked by a highly distinctive, unforgettable narrative style. One would not expect three-dimensional work that is also time-based to be well-conveyed in print, but this catalog to an exhibition at the Rose Art Museum does a remarkable job.

Featured image is a detail from the installation "Bowls Balls Souls Holes" (2014), produced for Mika Rottenberg's recent exhibition at The Rose Art Museum and reproduced here from the accompanying publication, The Production of Luck. In a conversation with Rose Art Museum director Christopher Bedford, Rottenberg states, "This piece spins around relationships between the physical and metaphysical. Rooms become characters, the bingo balls become electrons bouncing, the clothespin guy is the conductor, the sleeping moon lady is a vessel, and the announcer is the gatekeeper. They all affect temperature and move architecture. Internal psychological space extends beyond the body’s border, shaping the exterior by using parapsychology." continue to blog
