Peter Rose’s films, performances, and installations delve into the nature of time, space, and perception, drawing on his background in mathematics and structuralist cinema. With a keen interest in language as both form and concept, his work explores concrete texts, political satire, and the absurd. Exhibited globally at MoMA, the Whitney Biennial, and Centre Pompidou, Rose’s art reimagines the boundaries of media and thought.
Since 1968 Peter Rose has made over forty films, tapes, performances and installations. Many of the early works raise intriguing questions about the nature of time, space, light, and perception and draw upon Rose’s background in mathematics and on the influence of structuralist filmmakers.
He subsequently became interested in language as a subject and in video as a medium and generated a substantial body of work that played with the feel and form of sense, concrete texts, political satire, oddball performance, and a kind of intellectual comedy. Recent video installations have involved a return to an examination of landscape, time, and vision.
Rose has been widely exhibited, both nationally and internationally, having been included in shows at the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Biennial, the Centre Pompidou, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Film Society at Lincoln Center, and the Rotterdam International Film Festival. He has been awarded fellowships by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Guggenheim Foundation, the Pew Foundation, the Independence Foundation, and the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, and is fond of writing descriptions in the third person.
