Isa ROSENBERGER
Visual and Media Artist
Isa Rosenberger lives and works in Vienna. She studied at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna and at the Jan van Eyck Academy in Maastricht. She also teaches as a senior lecturer at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna.
Isa Rosenberger's research-based artistic practice focuses on alternative readings of history and uncovers mute, suppressed, lost or forgotten history(s). In her projects she reflects - often from a feminist point of view - cross-generational forms of knowledge, personal stories and discourses that migrate over sometimes large geographical distances and times. She brings different contexts, personal experiences and macropolitical structures into comprehensible connections and activates events in our present that are supposedly separated in time or space.
She has shown her artistic work internationally in numerous group and solo exhibitions. In 2008 she received the Otto Mauer Prize and in 2012 the Outstanding Artist Award for video and media art.
