Rachel Rose (born 1986) is an American artist known for her video installations that merge moving images and sound within nuanced environments connecting them to broader but related subject matter. Rose has presented solo exhibits at the Serpentine Galleries and the Whitney Museum of Art.
Rose is the daughter of Diana (née Calthorpe) and Jonathan F. P. Rose. Her father is an urban planner with a focus on sustainable housing, and her uncle is architect Peter Calthorpe. She grew up on a farm in upstate New York. She earned a B.A. in art from Yale University; a M.A. in art history from the Courtauld Institute of Art; and a M.F.A. from Columbia University. She entered graduate school as an abstract painter where she studied under Rirkrit Tiravanija.
Rose produces video installations juxtaposing images and sounds demonstrating that life is complex and intricate. Whitney curator Christopher Y. Lew approved of “how she was able to gather such a mix of images, and of content as well, and weave it into a unique narrative. She pulled some kind of order out of our whirlpool of information, without ever denying the flood". Rose's videos consist of original footage and found material combined to depict an autonomous perspective using language and technology. Her experiential pieces work to convey sensorial aspects of ideas by manipulating sound and image. Her imagery depicts "humanity's shard current anxieties and their multi-layered interconnectivity" as well as humanities' relationship to the natural world, advancing technology, mortality, and history. Each video is driven by an intense period of research centered on a subject, theory or belief.
The Taipei Biennial exhibition featured Rose's 2013 video, Sitting Feeding Sleeping, which debuted at the artist's graduate thesis exhibition.
Rose's 2014 video Palisades in Palisades focused on the human relationship with the natural world and was shot in Palisades Interstate Park in New Jersey. Her video A Minute Ago focuses on Philip Johnson's Glass House and was shown in Rose's exhibition, Palisades, at Serpentine Gallery in London in 2015. Palisades featured both A Minute Ago and Palisades in Palisades.
