Ellen Rothenberg
Disruptive Geographies: false turns, pit stops + accidental landings
Ellen Rothenberg's work is concerned with the politics of everyday life and the formation of communities through collaborative practices. Working between Berlin and Chicago, Rothenberg is a member of the sci-fi feminist collective, Future Force Geo Speculators and since 2010 The Chicago Torture Justice Memorial. Recent collaborations also include “Chelen Amenca,” a project traversing language and cultural constructions. Her work - architecturally scaled installations, public projects, performance, collaborations, and writing - uncover histories embedded in the present particularly those of women, labor, and feminism.
Her work has been presented at The Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; The Museum of Fine Arts and The Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston; The Museum of London, Ontario; The Contemporary Jewish Museum, San Francisco; The Neues Museum Weserburg, Bremen; Royal Festival Hall, London; The Brukenthal National Museum, Sibiu, Romania; among others. Awards include NEA Regional Fellowships, The Bunting Institute Fellowship Radcliffe College Harvard University, Illinois Arts Council Fellowships, The Massachusetts Artist Foundation Fellowships, and grants from CEC Artslink, The Charles Engelhard Foundation, The LEF Foundation, and NEA Artists Projects.
Rothenberg is an Adjunct Professor at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and an Artist Teacher for the Vermont College Fine Arts Graduate Program.
