Résumé:

"Culture Class reflects on the commodified status of creativity in the geopolitical power formations and bureaucratic management of cities. Writing in direct response to Richard Florida's book The Rise of the Creative Class, Rosler problematizes Florida's definition of creative workers as driving urban economic success, exploring the notion that artistic labor "cannot be conflated with neoliberal urban political regimes," as sociologist Ann Markusen has put it. Yet artists and urban cultural centers are irrevocably intertwined, and part of Rosler's task in this series of essays is to tease out the complicity of artists in both the economic advancement and spatial reorganization of cities. These questions have reverberated throughout Rosler's practice, but particularly in the three-part exhibition project If You Lived Here ... (1989) at the Dia Art Foundation, in which Rosler examined homelessness and housing conditions in New York City and well beyond. The project presented a wide range of art video, film, visual data, and poster graphics, and it engaged activist groups and organizers in the exhibitions as well as in meetings and public programs. If You Lived Here ... and other of Rosler's early works, such as The Bowery in two inadequate descriptive systems (1974­­ - 75), take on urban environments and landscapes as indicators of the larger, increasingly corporatized forces that shape the lives of the people within them. Writer Abbe Schriber visited Martha Rosler in her Greenpoint studio and home to speak with her about Culture Class and its connections with her artistic practice more broadly."--Publisher's website
