Belvedere Surveys Six Decades of Erna Rosenstein's Multimedia Art

In Vienna, the Belvedere is showcasing an extensive exhibition that highlights the six-decade-long journey of Polish artist Erna Rosenstein. Her multimedia creations, shaped by the experiences of the Shoah and Poland's tumultuous history, blend individual and collective narratives from both the past and present. Stella Rollig, the General Director, emphasizes that Rosenstein's art challenges a singular interpretation of history, instead framing memory as a fluid process that constantly redefines the past. The exhibition raises significant questions regarding museum and academic practices, underscoring the notion that history is not inherently obvious. Throughout her career, Rosenstein remained committed to her political and artistic principles.
