Rosa Barba: Fixed in Fleeting: Performative Objects and Tape Journals

3. Juli – 28. August 2021

In advance of the artist’s major solo exhibition at Berlin’s Neue Nationalgalerie, entitled Rosa Barba: In a Perpetual Now, opening on August 22, we present four works. In addition, a special boxed edition of the artist’s series of publications, Printed Cinema, published by Dancing Foxes Press, New York, will be launched on the occasion of her presentation at the gallery.

On view at the gallery, from August 20 – 28, 2021 we present an exclusive screening of Inside the Outset: Evoking a Space of Passage, 2021, as part of Mies in Mind exhibition parcours.

Rosa Barba engages with the medium of film through a sculptural perspective. The artist’s installations and site-specific interventions analyze the ways film articulates space, placing work and spectator in novel relationships. With great conceptual elegance and a marked attention to the materiality of the medium, Barba examines the history and industry of cinema and its staging vis-à-vis gesture, genre, information and documents.
