Marina Pipkin Discourse: Martha Rosler

Martha Rosler (Brooklyn, New York, 1942).

The New York artist, is one of the most recognized artist of her generation.

It was until ‘90 when she started to show their artwork in galleries and exhibitions to profit from them.

"It was a political decision I had to give up because in the eighties the United States eliminated all non-commercial art sector and there was noway to show your work if it was not in galleries or museums" (Martha Rosler -

It’s said that when she was little and she didn’t know what to do in the future, she was looking for something risky, like robbing banks. But in the end she became an artist. It is considered a benchmark in the feminist art. What I think is great,

Rosler also made his controversial photomontage series Bringing the warhome, in which a series of publicity photographs of dream homes, with their corresponding housewife inside, overlapping images from theVietnam War, mixing and reflection around space allocated to womenwith the anti-war message.

I like Martha Rosler, because with their collages she also convey the injustice, like as the political problems of today. For example the problems in Iran, Palestine, wars etc. I think the world needs artists like Martha Rosler, who reflect reality.
