Rogers, Ken B

Assistant Professor

Biography

In addition to teaching the history of photography, experimental film, video art, and new media at New York University for the past five years, Kenneth Rogers comes to UCR as the former director and head curator of the Maiden Lane Exhibition Space in lower Manhattan from 2000-2003 and is the co-founder of Chatham Arts, a new exhibition space in Pittsburgh, PA. His recent research reevaluates artists' film and video production in the U.S. between 1965 and 1975. He maintains that this body of work destabilized philosophically grounded and self-contained interpretations of media ontology through the strategic use of open textuality.
