In Rottenberg’s work, people—most often women—and machines are engaged in incessant production. Rhythmic editing and sound design whirl us into labyrinthine processes in which goods are manufactured and conveyed in one big, surreal hamster wheel. Her scenarios are funhouse versions of our own world; like science labs investigating naturally occurring phenomena, the artist’s installations can be seen as designs and models testing social concepts and abstract systems. Rottenberg herself calls her art “social surrealism.” This catalog, designed by the internationally acclaimed Dutch designer Irma Boom, presents some of Rottenberg’s most trenchant work, as well as an interview with the artist by Anders Kold, curator at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, and an introduction by William Pym.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49749416444177,"sku":"NGR9788793659513","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51066057883921,"sku":"NIN9788793659513","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52140703121681,"sku":"NLS9788793659513","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/8793659512.jpg?v=1751351849"},{"product_id":"mika-rottenberg-book-mika-rottenberg-9783960983538","title":"Mika Rottenberg","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50226906562833,"sku":"GOR013893296","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50774338666769,"sku":"GOR014066615","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/3960983530.jpg?v=1750731642"},{"product_id":"mika-rottenberg-the-production-of-luck-book-mika-rottenberg-9781941366004","title":"Mika Rottenberg: The Production of Luck","description":"This volume offers a comprehensive look at the career of Mika Rottenberg (born 1976).
