b. 1976, Buenos Aires, Argentina Combining film, architectural installation and sculpture, Rottenberg investigates ideas of labour and the production of value in our hyper-capitalist world, creating unsettling, subversive allegories for contemporary life. Weaving fact and fiction, she has worked in diverse locations, among them a pearl factory in China and a Calexico border town. Following her 2019 exhibition ‘Easypieces’ at New York’s New Museum and MCA Chicago, and a show at Hanover’s Sprengel Museum, Rottenberg is developing upcoming solo presentations for the Tai Kwun Centre for Heritage and Arts in Hong Kong, the Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto, and Musée d’Art Contemporain de Montréal.
Nicole Eisenman
b. 1965, Verdun, France Drawing from her personal experience as an artist in New York City, Eisenman explores narratives such as the dangers of technological dependence and the eternal dread of the future. Through expressive paintings, she has spotlighted issues of gender, race, economic imbalance and gun violence. Her monumental outdoor sculptural ensemble, Procession, was a highlight of the Whitney Biennial in 2019. Eisenman is currently working on a number of solo museum shows across the US and Europe, including presentations at Nottingham Contemporary, the University Museum of Contemporary Art (University of Massachusetts Amherst), and Oslo’s Astrup Fearnley Museet.
