A través de la diversidad de su obra — fotografÌa, instalaciones, performances, vÌdeo, ensayo o ficción — Martha Rosler elabora una serie de incisivos análisis de los mitos y las realidades de una cultura patriarcal. Expresada con una ironÌa imperturbable, la obra de Rosler investiga las realidades socioeconómicas y las ideologÌas polÌticas que dominan nuestra vida cotidiana. Al presentar perspicaces análisis crÌticos de forma accesible, sus indagaciones son didácticas aunque no exhortativas.

From the publisher: "At the core of In the Place of the Public are photographs taken at airports and on airplanes throughout the United States and Europe and a set of texts drawn from the experiences of air travel. Resonant phrases deal with the psychological aspects of flight, the structures and logistics of terminals, and the business strategies of airlines; these phrases are placed in conjunction with a base-line list of landmarks and social forms by which we have previously organized and understood our lives together. In her companion essay included here, Rosler offers a meditation on the experience and the role of air travel today. Together these elements form what amounts to a phenomenology of air travel — as well as a metaphor for postmodern life. Rosler's writings and images fuse theoretical investigation and personal insight with social and political analysis. An essay by architectural historian and theorist Anthony Vidler interrogates terminals as building forms and airports as social places, framing Rosler's work in the context of architectural history." Published by Cantz Verlag (Ostfildern).

If You Lived Here: The City in Art, Theory, and Social Activism: A Project by Martha Rosler. This book accompanied the exhibition cycle of three shows and four forums on housing, homelessness, and the built environment, including architectural realities and utopian schemes, that Rosler organized at the Dia Art Foundation in New York in 1989.

"This book is an indispensable resource for anyone interested in questions of urbanism and housing in advanced societies, from architecture to urban planning to homelessness. It is especially useful for the discussion of some of the ways that artists, architects, activists, and planners have responded to successive city and housing crises. It offers theoretical and historical documents but also art projects and transcripts of public forums."
