PENNDESIGN FINE ARTS LECTURE SERIES @ ICA
WITH MIKA ROTTENBERG

Thursday, February 17 @ 6pm

Hear renowned artists speak about their work as this popular series of public lectures continues this evening with Mika Rottenberg.

Video artist Mika Rottenberg stages fictional worlds that evoke children's playhouses. But her whimsical wonderlands peopled with odd characters and make-believe-logic expose a satirical underside to her work. Born in Buenos Aires in 1976, Rottenberg lives and works in New York. She holds a BFA from the School of Visual Arts (2000) and an MFA from Columbia University (2004). A monographic exhibition entitled Mika Rottenberg: Dough cheese squeeze and tropical breeze. Video works 2003-2010 will open at de Appel Arts Centre, Amsterdam in March 2011.
