Interview with Alexander Rosenberg

Watch our video interview with one of the recipients of the P.S. We Love Our Members Grant, Alexander Rosenberg:

Alexander Rosenberg is an artist, educator, and writer based between Philadelphia and New York. He received a Master of Science in Visual Studies from MIT and a BFA in glass from Rhode Island School of Design. His artistic practice is rooted in the study of glass as a material, in conjunction with broad interdisciplinary investigation crossing over into many other media and research areas.

When asked about his passions, Rosenberg says this:

"As a media-specific artist/educator and a maker of objects entrenched in a studio practice that consumes resources at an alarming rate, I find myself confronted by the need to quantify my carbon footprint, to assess the relative scarcity and availability of material, and, ultimately, to measure the environmental impact of my work. As these unintentional byproducts of my studio work eclipse the projects they once served, an urgent shift has begun to reorient my practice.

Today, the questions propelling my work have become simple and practical. How will the world repair itself after we are gone? How will humans and other species survive the conditions we have created? What does a post-human earth look like?

I am passionate about confronting these questions in my studio practice, teaching and daily life."
