Scene #9, 2014
In painting, sculpture, photography and film, Aura Rosenberg adapts imagery compiled from pornographic magazines and newspapers to question notions of transgression, sexuality and repression. Using material from “the Golden Age of Porn,” an era between the late ‘60s to mid ‘80s when pornography entered the mainstream, the artist derives newly constructed fantasy narratives that speak to the manner with which we digest such imagery today.
Aura Rosenberg (b. 1949, New York, NY) received a BA from Sarah Lawrence College, and completed the Whitney Independent Study Program in 1971, and received an MA from Hunter College in 1974. She currently lives and works in New York and Berlin.
