Liz Rosenfeld

Born 1979 - New York, United States

Liz Rosenfeld is a Berlin based interdisciplinary artist who works in film/video, performance, and experimental writing practice. Liz addresses the sustainability of emotional and political ecologies, cruising methodologies, and past and future histories in regard to the ways in which memory is queered. Liz's work deals with flesh as a non-binary collaborative material, specifically focussing on the potentiality of physical abundance and excess, approaching questions regarding the responsibility and privilege of taking up space. Embracing an auto- theoretical style, Liz's writing is rooted in questions that contend with how queer ontologies are rooted in variant hypocritical desire(s).

Liz received an MFA in Performance from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2005, followed by an MA from The Department of Performance Studies at New York University in 2007.

Liz’s works have shown in international museums and venues including The Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, Haus der Kulturen der Welt, The Forum Expanded Program of the 2022 Berlinale, Antifestval, Bärenzwinger Berlin, Mousonturm, Tanzhaus nrw, Kampnagel, 2019 Bergen Assembly,Berlinischer Galerie, Mapa Teatro, Sophiensæle, The Hebbel am Ufer Theatre, The Gorki Theater, Arts Admin, Galerie Emanuel Layr, The Tate Modern, The Hammer Museum, The Leslie Lohman Museum, The Barbican Centre, The CAC- Glasgow, Tramway, The Stedelijk Museum, The C/O Gallery, and The Deutsches Historisches Museum.

Liz’s film White Sands Crystal Foxes was nominated for Best Experimental Short Film by the 2022 Teddy Awards of the Berlinale Film Festival. Liz was one of the nominated artists for the Antifestival 2022 Shortlist Live! Award.
