Isa Rosenberger

(Please scroll down for English version)

„Isa Rosenbergers künstlerisches Interesse ist historiografisch, nimmt sie doch die Geschichtsschreibung, ihre Verkürzungen, Ausblendungen und Umschreibungen selbst in den Blick. Mit ihren filmisch-installativen und fotografischen Arbeiten begibt sie sich oft auf Spurensuche, um dem Verborgenen, Verdrängten und Vergessenen Raum und Sichtbarkeit zu geben, zumeist intersektionaler feministischer und oft jüdischer Frauengeschichte. Vielfach entstehen die Projekte in kollaborativen Prozessen und im multidisziplinären Austausch mit Künstler*innen, Kulturwissenschafter*innen und Zeitzeug*innen. Dabei verbindet Rosenberger das (Körper)Wissen ihrer meist weiblichen Protagonistinnen, deren persönliche, aber auch generationsprägende Erlebnisse mit gesellschaftspolitischen Ereignissen in Vergangenheit und Gegenwart. Gespräche mit Zeitzeug*innen, dokumentarische und fiktionale Modi der Erzählung, performativ angelegte Annäherungen und (Wieder-)Aufführungen erzeugen ein Geflecht aus Zusammenhängen, Kontinuitäten, Unterbrechungen und Synchronizitäten – kurzum: eine multiperspektivische Historiografie, bei der Lücken und Leerstellen konstitutiv sind. Rosenberger verknüpft diese mit aktuellen Fragestellungen und Diskursen: die freiwillige oder erzwungene Migration von Menschen, aber auch Wissen, ökonomische Krisen und Kapitalismuskritik oder der kreative und sich selbst ermächtigende Umgang mit ökonomischen und politischen Widrigkeiten. Auf diese Weise schreibt sich Gegenwart in Vergangenes hinein und wird Vergangenes im Gegenwärtigen lebendig.“*

Isa Rosenberger (*1969 in Salzburg), lebt und arbeitet in Wien. Sie studierte an der Universität für angewandte Kunst in Wien sowie an der Jan van Eyck Akademie in Maastricht und lehrt als Senior Lecturer an der Akademie der bildenden Künste Wien im Fachbereich Kunst und Bildung.
Ihre künstlerischen Arbeiten wurden sowohl national als auch international in zahlreichen Ausstellungen gezeigt, Einzelausstellungen, u.a.: 2023 Stiftung Bauhaus Dessau; Kunsthaus Graz. 2020 Camera Austria, Graz. 2019 Kunsthalle Exnergasse, Wien. 2014 Skirball Cultural Center, Los Angeles. 2011 Grazer Kunstverein. 2009 Edith-Russ-Haus für Medienkunst, Oldenburg. 2008 Secession Wien. 2001 Kunstverein Wolfsburg. Gruppenausstellungen, u.a.: 2021 Dom Museum Wien. 2020 Salzburger Festspiele. 2018 Museum of Contemporary Art Zagreb. 2017 Belvedere 21, Wien; Kunsthaus Graz. 2016 Bergen Assembly; Museum der Moderne Salzburg; VOX, centre de l’image contemporaine, Montreal; <rotor> association for contemporary art, Graz. 2015 Koroska Art Gallery, Slovenj Gradec; Wiener Festwochen. 2014 LENTOS Kunstmuseum Linz. 2008 erhielt sie den Otto Mauer Preis und 2012 den Outstanding Artist Award für Video- und Medienkunst. Isa Rosenberger wird von der Charim Galerie in Wien repräsentiert.

”Isa Rosenberger's artistic interest is historiographical, as she takes a close look at the writing of history, its abbreviations, omissions and rewritings. With her film installations and photographic works she often sets out in search of traces of history in order to give space and visibility to the hidden, repressed and forgotten, mostly intersectional feminist and often Jewish women's history.
The projects are often created in collaborative processes and in multidisciplinary exchange with artists, cultural scientists and contemporary witnesses. Rosenberger combines the (body)knowledge of her mostly female protagonists, their personal but also generation-defining experiences with socio-political events in the past and present. Conversations with contemporary witnesses, documentary and fictional modes of narration, performative approaches and (re-)enactments create a web of connections, continuities, interruptions and synchronicities - in short: a multi-perspective historiography in which gaps and voids are constitutive. Rosenberger links these with current issues and discourses: the voluntary or forced migration of people, but also of knowledge, economic crises and criticism of capitalism or the creative and self-empowering handling of economic and political adversity. In this way, the present writes itself into the past and the past comes alive in the present.”*

Isa Rosenberger (*1969 in Salzburg) lives and works in Vienna. She studied at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna and at the Jan van Eyck Academy in Maastricht. Currently she teaches as a Senior Lecturer at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna at the Institute for Education in the Arts.
Her artistic works have been shown both nationally and internationally in numerous group and solo exhibitions, solo exhibitions include: 2023 Bauhaus Dessau Foundation; Kunsthaus Graz. 2020 Camera Austria, Graz. 2019 Kunsthalle Exnergasse, Vienna. 2014 Skirball Cultural Center, Los Angeles. 2011 Grazer Kunstverein. 2009 Edith-Russ-Haus for Media Art, Oldenburg. 2008 Secession Vienna. 2001 Kunstverein Wolfsburg. Group exhibitions include: 2021 Dom Museum Wien. 2020 Salzburger Festspiele. 2018 Museum of Contemporary Art Zagreb. 2017 Belvedere 21, Vienna; Kunsthaus Graz; 2016 Bergen Assembly; Museum der Moderne Salzburg; VOX, centre de l’image contemporaine, Montreal; <rotor> association for contemporary art, Graz. 2015 Koroska Art Gallery, Slovenj Gradec; Wiener Festwochen; 2014 LENTOS Kunstmuseum Linz.
In 2008 she received the Otto Mauer Prize and in 2012 the Outstanding Artist Award for Video and Media Art. Isa Rosenberger is represented by Charim Gallery.
