SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Artist Mika Rottenberg
debuts
her latest immersive video installation for SFMOMA’s New Work series
this summer
in her first solo museum exhibition on the West Coast. Rottenberg makes
feminist
art decades after feminism was legibly defined. She makes seriously
political
art that is preposterously funny. She documents reality, but spins it
into
narrative fiction. With Squeeze (2010), Rottenberg hones these signature
tactics, creating a video installation that is both humorous and
unsettling. New
Work: Mika Rottenberg will be on view from July 8 through October 3,
2010 and is
organized by SFMOMA Assistant Curator of Painting and Sculpture Alison
Gass, who
was recently cited by The New York Times as one of nine young museum
curators in
the U.S. to watch.
