Douglas Rosenberg (born 1956) is an interdisciplinary American artist and theorist, working in performance, video, screendance, and installation whose work has been exhibited internationally for over 30 years.[1] Additionally, he is well-known for his writing about art, specifically about screendance.[2][1] Rosenberg is based in Madison, WI,[3] where he is a Vilas Distinguished professor of Art[2] at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.[1]
Early life and education
Rosenberg grew up in San Anselmo, CA in a Jewish family in the 1960s and 1970s.[1] Whilst attending Junior High School he was introduced to the possibilities of living a creative life by his first art teacher, Ted Allen.[1] It was here that he began to work in clay.[1] He subsequently attended Sir Francis Drake High School (now known as Archie Williams High School), where he was a part of an alternative program called "School Within A School" (SWAS).[1][4] This was an environment that was inspired by experimental learning communities of the 1970s, during the era of the Vietnam war.[5]
In 1985 Rosenberg received an MFA in Performance and Video (New Genres) from San Francisco Art Institute.[6] There, he studied with Doug Hall, Paul Kos, Howard Fried, Linda Frye Burnham et al.[7][1] In 1994 he received the National Endowment for the Arts/Southeast Media Fellowship.
Life and work
Rosenberg lives in rural Wisconsin[1] with his wife, choreographer Li Chiao-Ping.[8][9] Rosenberg and Li have collaborated on projects with their son, Jacob Li Rosenberg,[10] an artist living in San Francisco.[11]
Rosenberg's work is largely tied to the seasonal landscape and for ten years he and Li hosted Summerwork at the Farm, a project that was designed around the idea of seasonal farm work and community.[12] It was a space for reflection, conversation, engagement, meditation on the landscape, art, and humanism.[12]
As an advocate for a greater understanding for Jewishness and the Arts, Rosenberg founded the Conney Project[13] on Jewish Arts at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.[14] The Conney Project was an initiative that included conferences and visionary cultural programming--events, exhibits, readings, and performances--to engage in and promote looking deeply at the contributions of Jewish artists and scholars to the narratives of 20th century art, literature, and culture.[13] Under Rosenberg's directorship, the Conney Project ran for 18 years.[13]
Rosenberg's time-based performative work has addressed topics including forgiveness,[15] identity,[16] care,[17] the transient nature of relationships,[18] and meditations on death, aging,[19] and the landscape around him.[20] Rosenberg has also addressed similar concerns in his book of collected essays on art, Staring at the Sky: Essays on Art and Culture (Bokförlaget Korpen, 2024). Composed as an ongoing commitment to remaining mindful of the field and the cultural upheaval of the period, the essays were written as a weekly practice over a five-year period from 2015 to 2020, during which time he served as Chair of the Art Department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.[21]
Screendance
Rosenberg is well known for his work in screendance.[22] He has articulated the field both through his films and his theoretical writing.[23][24] Screendance is a type of interdisciplinary practice that sits at the intersection of media and bodies in motion, which has roots in the work of artists such as Maya Deren, Norman McLaren, and Amy Greenfield.[25] Rosenberg is a founding editor of the International Journal of Screendance.[26] He is the author of Screendance: Inscribing the Ephemeral Image[27] and editor of The Oxford Handbook of Screendance Studies,[28] which was awarded the Oscar G. Brockett Book Prize for Dance Research in 2018.[29]
As a filmmaker, his work considers aging bodies, intimacy, community, and the specific site, in such work as, Song of Songs, 2021.[24] He has collaborated with choreographers including Molissa Fenley,[30][31] Seán Curran (dancer)|Sean Curran,[32][33] Ellen Bromberg[34], Joe Goode,[35] Li Chiao-Ping,[35] Eiko and Koma[36] and others.
