Rose ENGLISH (b. 1950) will be featuring at the Museum der Moderne Kunst, Salzburg, the first comprehensive retrospective of the artist in German-speaking countries. The exhibition Rose English will run from 5 July 2024 - 4 May 2025.
Rose English is best known for her contributions to the development of performance art in Britain. Emerging from the conceptual art, dance and feminist scenes of the 1970s, English has developed an extensive interdisciplinary practice over the past 40 years, honing a unique artistic vocabulary that has consistently analysed and commentated on aesthetics, politics and philosophy, including aspects of British pop culture, from show girls and show horses to magic acts and pantomime. Her work challenges conventional understandings of both feminism and femininity through the combination of forms with which she engages, including theatre, circus, poetry and fine art, producing acclaimed performances but also works in other media such as film and installation.
