Ellen Rothenberg’s recent public projects and installations focus on global migration and the political and social response in destination countries; the intertwined histories of electoral activism and of voter suppression; and the possibilities for individual and collective action. Her research repurposes the archive through presence and emplacement – inhabiting architecture, public spaces, and sites of everyday life.
Working and living between Chicago and Berlin, Rothenberg is currently a Research Fellow at RE:WORK, IGK Work and Life Course from the Global Perspective at Humboldt University in Berlin and Professor, Adj. at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. As Faculty Research Fellow in SAIC’s Institute for Curatorial Research and Practice during 2018-19, Rothenberg and Daniel Eisenberg curated and organized RE:WORKING LABOR, an international symposium and exhibition on contemporary representations of labor and the future of work.
