Opening Reception: Thursday, Sept. 11, 5:30–7:30 p.m. Closing Reception: Friday, Oct. 10, 7 p.m. On the eve of the 2008 Presidential election, Martha Rosler’s multifaceted work will pose thought provoking questions in reference to one of the election’s most pivotal issues: the war in Iraq. This exhibition will be the juxtaposition of two similar but also different bodies of work across the span of decades, “Bringing the war home (1967-1972)” and “Bringing the war home: House beautiful, new series (2004).” Produced as an outgrowth of Rosler's own involvement with anti-war activities, these photomontages are a response to the artist's "frustration with the images we saw in television and print media, even with anti-war flyers and posters. The images we saw were always very far away, in a place we couldn't imagine."
