Martha Rosler (CRF 2009)’s “Irrespective,” a sweeping exhibition at the Jewish Museum, depicts Rosler’s five decades of photomontages, videos, and installations displayed with a wicked and welcome sense of humor. Rosler, as she explained during the talk, is not expecting art to end wars or change policy, but she wants to make the viewer pay attention to both in the first place.
Irrespective continues at the Jewish Museum (1109 Fifth Avenue, Carnegie Hill, Manhattan) through March 3, 2019. The exhibition was curated by Darsie Alexander.
