This winter, Mitchell-Innes & Nash will present an exhibition of feminist art by Martha Rosler centered on her work from the 1960s and 70s. martha rosler: changing the subject… in the company of others, on view from December 8, 2022, through January 21, 2023, will present photomontages, videos, and sculpture that deepen the understanding of Rosler’s feminist landscape—one that feels increasingly relevant today. It is the artist’s first solo show in New York since her exhibition Irrespective at the Jewish Museum (2018).

The works on view at Mitchell-Innes & Nash exemplify what might be called a kaleidoscopic approach to feminism and politics. Countering the persistent idea that political and feminist expressions are separate and unconnected, Rosler insists that what concerns women is inescapably political and, in turn, that political art can be—must be—feminist.
