Martha Rosler at the Edinburgh College of Art!

Edinburgh College of Art presents an artist talk by artist and theorist Martha Rosler as part of ECA's Andrew Carnegie Lecture Series.

Martha Rosler’s work focuses on everyday life, class politics and public space. Paying particular attention to women’s experience, her artworks and published writings use a range of strategies to address urgent topics, carving out new opportunities for critical thinking and questioning. Her long-standing commitment to housing struggles and incisive interventions in debates on gentrification are reflected in Off the Shelf: The Life of the City (2018), one of two prints by Rosler recently acquired for the University of Edinburgh’s Contemporary Art Research Collection.

The Andrew Carnegie Lecture Series is a programme of annual public talks at Edinburgh College of Art (ECA) by some of the most innovative people working in the arts worldwide today. The University of Edinburgh is grateful to the Carnegie Corporation of New York for its generous support of this flagship series. Today, as a run up to Rosler's talk, we share a piece by Senior Lecturer and curator at the Edinburgh College of Art, Kirsten Lloyd, who reads Rosler's work through the lens of social reproduction theory.
