Rachel Rose (born 1986) is an American artist known for her video installations that merge moving images and sound within nuanced environments connecting them to broader but related subject matter.[1][2][3][4] Rose has presented solo exhibits at the Serpentine Galleries and the Whitney Museum of Art.[5][6]
Early life and education
Rose is the daughter of Diana (née Calthorpe) and Jonathan F. P. Rose.[7][8][9] Her father is an urban planner with a focus on sustainable housing,[7] and her uncle is architect Peter Calthorpe.[10] She grew up on a farm in upstate New York.[7] She earned a B.A. in art from Yale University; a M.A. in art history from the Courtauld Institute of Art; and a M.F.A. from Columbia University.[7] She entered graduate school as an abstract painter where she studied under Rirkrit Tiravanija.[7]
Work
Rose produces video installations juxtaposing images and sounds demonstrating that life is complex and intricate.[7] Whitney curator Christopher Y. Lew approved of “how she was able to gather such a mix of images, and of content as well, and weave it into a unique narrative. She pulled some kind of order out of our whirlpool of information, without ever denying the flood".[7] Rose's videos consist of original footage and found material combined to depict an autonomous perspective using language and technology.[11] Her experiential pieces work to convey sensorial aspects of ideas by manipulating sound and image.[2] Her imagery depicts "humanity's shard current anxieties and their multi-layered interconnectivity" as well as humanities' relationship to the natural world, advancing technology, mortality, and history.[6] Each video is driven by an intense period of research centered on a subject, theory or belief.[11]
The Taipei Biennial exhibition featured Rose's 2013 video, Sitting Feeding Sleeping,[12] which debuted at the artist's graduate thesis exhibition.[13]
Rose's 2014 video Palisades in Palisades focused on the human relationship with the natural world and was shot in Palisades Interstate Park in New Jersey. Her video A Minute Ago focuses on Philip Johnson's Glass House[14] and was shown in Rose's exhibition, Palisades, at Serpentine Gallery in London in 2015. Palisades featured both A Minute Ago and Palisades in Palisades.[6][15]
In October 2015, Rose presented Everything and More, a solo show at the Whitney Museum of American Art.[1][16] Rose projected the video on a semi-transparent screen and covered the windows of the gallery's black box with opaque scrim to achieve an out-of-body feel. Everything and More was inspired by David Wolf's experience of a space walk.[3][4] The 11 minute and 30 second film was partially shot in a neutral buoyancy pool at the University of Maryland.[17]
